Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-core cache WCET analysis method supporting instruction prefetching, and belongs to the technical field of embedded real-time system application. Accordingly, on the basis of the shared-cache-based multi-core cache structure, for the WCET analysis problem in instruction prefetching, and by expanding instruction prefetching semantics, cache is instructed to access classification in advance, and then the influence of instruction prefetching on the private L1 instruction cache state and the shared L2 instruction cache state is analyzed. Therefore, the accuracy of application program WCET analysis is improved. The method can be widely applied to schedulable analysis of tasks in a real-time system, and then an accurate and compact WCET assessment value is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a task worst case execution time (Worst Case Execution Time, WCET) analysis method, in particular to a multi-core cache WCET analysis method supporting instruction prefetching, belonging to the field of embedded real-time system applications. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, multi-core processors have been widely used in embedded real-time control systems such as drones, high-speed rail, automobiles, and factory automation. Different from traditional general-purpose computer systems, in such embedded real-time systems, the task execution has strict time constraints, and all tasks in the system must be completed before the specified deadline, otherwise serious or even catastrophic consequences may occur. Therefore, when designing such a real-time system, it is necessary to know the WCET estimation of the task in the system in advance, and the process of obtaining the worst-cas...
