Tutorial on Improving Real-Time Behaviour at Embedded Masterclass, UK

[Andrew Coombes]

During the Embedded Masterclass events at Cambridge, UK (7th May 2009)
and Bristol, UK (12th May 2009), Rapita Director Ian Broster will
provide a half-day workshop on timing issues.

"How long does my software take to run... and how can I reduce it?"
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.

This tutorial will cover key aspects of on-target timing analysis:

* finding worst-case execution times (WCET) and the worst-case
path
* why worst-case optimization is not the same as average execution
optimization
* looking for worst-case "hot-spots"
* identifying timing bugs
* verifying optimization opportunities
