Overview
- Introduces promising techniques for dealing with challenges associated with deploying real-time systems on multicore platforms;
- Provides a complete picture of building timing-predictable computer systems, at the program level, component level and system level;
- Leverages different levels of abstraction to deal with the complexity of the analysis.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
This book describes state-of-the-art techniques for designing real-time computer systems. The author shows how to estimate precisely the effect of cache architecture on the execution time of a program, how to dispatch workload on multicore processors to optimize resources, while meeting deadline constraints, and how to use closed-form mathematical approaches to characterize highly variable workloads and their interaction in a networked environment. Readers will learn how to deal with unpredictable timing behaviors of computer systems on different levels of system granularity and abstraction.
