OTAWA is a freeware application dedicated to the computation of the WCET of programs. More precisely, OTAWA concerns the numerous WCET approaches based on static analyses of the executable program. Unlike many existing usual tools, the choice has been done to avoid specialisation and to produce, instead, a generic and open framework. WCET computation has always required to pass flow fact information from the user to the computation analysis even with tools including loop bound analyses. From the start of OTAWA and overmore with the use of the oRange, OTAWA has developed a more and more extensible annotation system based on XML file. In the last project, this annotation system has been largely extended to embed timing information and user domain definitions and to locate accurately information in the program and in the execution time.
Clément Ballabriga is a PhD student supervised by Hugues Cassé since 2006
and works on cache behavior, partial analysis and abstract interpretation. He is a member
of the TRACES team whose research interests include hardware issues of real-time embedded
systems. The main goal is to guarantee that the execution time of an application code
meets the system deadlines. We focus on characterizing the temporal properties of components
off-the-shelves. Our target is to propose ways to use these components such that safe
and tight worst-case execution time estimates can be computed. We also study architectural
extensions that should improve the time predictability of the components. The estimation of
the WCET requires three steps: a static analysis of the code identifies all the possible execution
paths; the target hardware is modelled to determine the individual execution times of
the basic blocks; then, the results of the previous steps are combined to evaluate an upper
bound of the global execution time. Part of our work concerns the first and second steps.
