Memory Controllers for Real-Time Embedded Systems

Predictable and Composable Real-Time Systems

  • Provides an overview of trends in embedded system design that make design of real-time
  • Cs difficult, error-prone, and expensive Introduces the concept of predictability, which is required for formal verification of real-time systems Introduces the concept of composability, which is a divide and conquer technique that enables performance verification per application, instead of monolithic verification for all applications together
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Embedded Systems (EMSY, volume 2)

About this book

Verification of real-time requirements in systems-on-chip becomes more complex as more applications are integrated. Predictable and composable systems can manage the increasing complexity using formal verification and simulation. This book explains the concepts of predictability and composability and shows how to apply them to the design and analysis of a memory controller, which is a key component in any real-time system.
