Lifting the Lid on Software Timing Analysis at the UK Embedded Masterclass
Software timing analysis should not be guesswork - in many cases it is essential and often critical to the success of a project. ´Improving Real-Time Behaviour for Reliable Systems` is the title of a three hour ...
Rapita Systems will present a workshop on software timing analysis at the next Embedded Masterclass event, to be held in Cambridge and Bristol on the 7th and 12th of May.
Measuring and optimising execution times of software are key issues for embedded engineers designing reliable systems. Understanding, verifying, and improving the timing performance of their real-time products gives successful companies a key competitive edge. ´Improving Real-Time Behaviour for Reliable Systems` is the title of a three hour workshop to be held at both the Cambridge and Bristol locations of this year's Embedded Masterclass event.
This tutorial will cover key aspects of on-target timing analysis: finding worst case execution times (WCET) and the worst case path, and why worst ...
