Timing Analysis and Worst Case Execution Time Questions

Cover methods for analyzing timing behavior and proving worst case execution time guarantees in real time systems. Topics include static worst case execution time analysis and control flow and path analysis, measurement based validation using instrumentation and hardware timers, loop bound determination, and handling microarchitectural effects such as caches and pipelines. Explain interrupt latency sources, jitter analysis, how to build defensible timing margins, and how timing results feed into schedulability and deadline analysis for real time schedulers.
