Predicting Instruction Cache Behavior
It has been claimed that the execution time of a program can often be predicted more accurately on an uncached system than on a system with cache memory 5, 20]. Thus, caches are often disabled for critical real-time tasks to ensure the predictability required for scheduling analysis. This work shows that instruction caching can be exploited to gain execution speed without sacriicing predictabil...
متن کاملcient On - the - y Analysis of ProgramBehavior and Static Cache Simulation ?
The main contributions of this paper are twofold. First, a general framework for control-ow partitioning is presented for eecient on-they analysis, i.e. for program behavior analysis during execution using a small number of instrumentation points. The formal model is further reened for certain analyses by transforming a program's call graph into a function-instance graph. Performance evaluation...
متن کاملBounding Pipeline and Instruction Cache Performance
Predicting the execution time of code segments in real-time systems is challenging. Most recently designed machines contain pipelines and caches. Pipeline hazards may result in multicycle delays. Instruction or data memory references may not be found in cache and these misses typically require several cycles to resolve. Whether an instruction will stall due to a pipeline hazard or a cache miss ...
متن کاملStatic cache simulation and its applications
This work takes a fresh look at the simulation of cache memories. It introduces the technique of static cache simulation that statically predicts a large portion of cache references. To e ciently utilize this technique, a method to perform e cient on-they analysis of programs in general is developed and proved correct. This method is combined with static cache simulation for a number of applica...
متن کاملFast instruction cache analysis via static cache simulation
This paper introduces a new method for instruction cache analysis that outperforms conventional tracedriven methods. The new method, static cache simulation, analyzes a program for a given cache configuration and determines prior t o execution time if an instruction reference will always result in a cache hit or miss. At run time, counters are incremented to provide the execution frequency of p...
