Timing Analysis for Instruction Caches

Timing Analysis for Instruction Caches This paper contributes a comprehensive study of a framework to bound worst-case instruction cache performance for caches with arbitrary levels of associativity. The framework is formally introduced, operationally described and its correctness is shown. Results of incorporating instruction cache predictions within pipeline simulation show that timing predictions for set-associative caches remain just as tight as predictions for direct-mapped caches. The low cache simulation overhead allows interactive use of the analysis tool and scales well with increasing associativity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Real-Time Systems Springer Journals

Abstract

This paper contributes a comprehensive study of a framework to bound worst-case instruction cache performance for caches with arbitrary levels of associativity. The framework is formally introduced, operationally described and its correctness is shown. Results of incorporating instruction cache predictions within pipeline simulation show that timing predictions for set-associative caches remain just as tight as predictions for direct-mapped caches. The low cache simulation overhead allows interactive use of the analysis tool and scales well with increasing associativity.
