abstract

  • The time to compute the Worst-Case Execution-Time (WCET) of a real-time program depends greatly on the technique used to generate paths. A method that is not able to distinguish between executable- and dead-paths could result in overestimation of the WCET. This paper addresses the issues of determining automatically the feasible paths. The algorithm targets the assembly code representation of a program so that the hardware features can be accounted. Our method attempts to identify constant values in a real-time program to reduce the amount of user provided information.
