Abstract

In this project, we aim to develop a solution to overcome this obstacle. This is a difficult challenge, because timing is determined by many shared resources in the memory system (including cache, memory banks, memory bus) with complex arbitration mechanisms, some of which are undocumented. The goal of our research is to demonstrate multicore timing confidence.
