Timing predictability of cache replacement policies
TL;DR: This work presents the first quantitative, analytical results for the predictability of replacement policies, and introduces three metrics, evict, fill, and mls that capture aspects of cache-state predictability.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
PLRU Cache Domino Effects
TL;DR: This paper shows that the pseudo LRU (PLRU) cache replacement policy can cause unbounded effects on the WCET, which is widely used in embedded systems, and some x86 models.
Proceedings Article
Requirements for and Design of a Processor with Predictable Timing
TL;DR: A design of a hard real-time processor with predictable timing, which is simultaneously capable of reaching respectable performance levels is given.
Book ChapterDOI
Formal Verification of the VAMP Floating Point Unit
Christoph Berg,Christian Jacobi +1 more
TL;DR: The hardware is verified on the gate level against a formal description of the IEEE standard by means of the theorem prover PVS, and the FPU is fully IEEE compliant, and supports denormals and exceptions in hardware.
Formal Verification of a Basic Circuits Library
TL;DR: The theorem proving system PVS is used in order to prove circuits such as incrementers, adders, arithmetic units, multipliers, leading zero counters, shifters, and decoders to provide a provably correct library of basic circuits.
