Rapita to give tutorial on Improving Real-Time Behaviour at Embedded Masterclass, UK

During the Embedded Masterclass events at Cambridge, UK (7th May 2009) and Bristol, UK (12th May 2009), Rapita Director Ian Broster will provide a half-day workshop on timing issues. "How long does my software take to run... and how can I reduce it?" are key issues for embedded engineers designing reliable systems. Understanding, verifying and improving the timing performance of their real-time products gives successful companies a key competitive edge. This tutorial will cover key aspects of on-target timing analysis:

• finding worst-case execution times (WCET) and the worst-case path
• why worst-case optimization is not the same as average execution optimization
• looking for worst-case "hot-spots"
• identifying timing bugs
• verifying optimization opportunities
