Title
Predicting the Worst-Case Execution Time of the Concurrent Execution of Instructions and Cycle-Stealing DMA I/O Operations
Abstract
This paper describes an efficient algorithm which gives a bound on the worst-case execution times of the concurrent execution of CPU instructions and cycle-stealing DMA I/O operations. Simulations of several programs were conducted to evaluate this algorithm. Compared with the traditional pessimistic approach, the bound on the worst-case execution time produced by the algorithm is significantly tighter. For a sample program that multiplies two matrices while the I/O bus is fully utilized, our algorithm achieves a 39% improvement in the accuracy of the prediction.
