| Abstract | As the performance requirements of today's real-time systems are on the rise, system engineers are increasingly forced to optimize and tune the execution time of real-time software. Apart from usual optimizations targeting the average-case performance of a program, the worst-case execution time bound (WCET) delivered by program analysis tools often has to be improved to meet all the deadlines and ensure a safe operation of the entire system. Modern computer architectures pose a significant challenge to this task due to their high complexity. Out-of-order execution, speculation, caches, buffers, and branch predictors highly depend on the execution history and are thus difficult to analyze precisely for WCET analysis tools. Time-predictable computer architectures overcome this problems by specifically designed hardware components that are amenable to static program analysis. A recently proposed alternative for caching executable code, i.e., instructions, is the so-called method cache. Instead of a traditional block-based cache design, the method cache operates on larger code blocks under the control of the compiler. Due to its design, the analysis of the method cache is simplified. At the same time, such a system now highly depends on the compiler and its ability to form suitable code blocks for caching. We propose a simple function splitting technique that derives a suitable partitioning of the basic blocks in a program, targeting the method cache of the time-predictable processor Patmos. Our approach exploits dominance properties to form code regions respecting the method cache's parameters as well as constraints of Patmos' instruction set architecture. Experimental results show that the method cache can be competitive with typical instruction cache configurations given the right splitting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
