Schedulability analysis is necessary to build reliable embedded real-time systems. For schedulability analysis, worst-case execution time(WCET) analysis that computes upper bounds of the execution times of tasks, is required indispensably. WCET analysis is done in two phases. The first phase is high-level analysis that analyzes control flow and finds longest paths of the program. The second phase is low-level analysis that computes execution cycles of basic blocks taking into account the hardware architecture. In this thesis, we design and implement integrated WCET analysis tools. We develop the WCET analysis tools for XScale-based system called WATER(WCET Analysis Tool for Embedded Real-time system). WATER consist of high-level flow analyzer and low-level execution time analyzer. Also, We compare real measurement for execution of program with analysis result calculated by WATER.

If the existing real-time systems are integrated based on SOA, real-time SOA should be developed. Generally, in real-time SOA a service can be divided into several small services and their estimated execution time is given by provider systems. However, an estimation, which analyzes time elements related to transmit and receive messages among requesters and providers, is needed. In order to enhance QoS of Web service, this paper proposes enhanced worst-case execution time estimation by considering WS-transaction and common use of multi-processors system.

본 논문에서는 한 번에 여러 개의 명령어를 이슈할 수 있는 다중 이슈 프로세서(in-order, multiple-issue processors)에 대해 최악 실행시간을 분석하는 기법을 제시한다. 명령어들의 이슈 형태를 분석하기 위해서 명령어들 사이의 의존성 간계를 표현하는 IDG(Instruction Dependence Graph)라고 하는 자료구조를 사용한다. 이 자료구조로부터 각 명령어들의 이슈간 거리 범위를 구하고, 프로그램의 계층적인 분석 과정에서 점차로 더 정확한 이슈간 거리 범위로 갱신한다. 프로그램의 최악 실행시간은 최종적으로 얻어진 프로그램 전체에 대한 IDG를 분석하여 얻은 명령어들의 이슈간 거리 범위로부터 계산한다. 제안하는 기법을 구현한 시간 분석기를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 논문에서 사용한 다중 이슈 프로세서 모델에 대해서 정확하게 다중 이슈 형태를 분석할 수 있었다.

Soft real-time applications such as multimedia feature highly variable processor requirements and probabilistic guarantees on deadline misses, meaning that each task in the application meets its deadline with a given probability. Thus, for such soft real-time applications, a system designer may want to improve the system utilization by allocating to each task a processor time less than its worst-case requirement, as long as the imposed probabilistic timing constraint is met. In this case, however, we have to address how to schedule jobs of a task that require more than (or, overrun) the allocated processor time to the task. In this paper, to address the overrun problem, we propose an overrun control method, which probabilistically controls the execution of overrunning jobs. The proposed overrun control method probabilistically allows overrunning jobs to complete for better system utilization, and also probabilistically prevents the overrunning jobs from completing so that the required probabilistic timing constraint for each task can be met. In the paper, we show that the proposed method outperforms previous methods proposed in the literature in terms of the overall deadline miss ratio, and that it is possible to synthesize the scheduling parameters of our method so that all tasks can meet the given probabilistic timing constraints.
