EVT Kopernic
Keywords: Embedded systems - Worst Case Execution Time - Real-time application - Statistics
Scientific Description: The EVT-Kopernic tool is an implementation of the Extreme Value Theory (EVT) for the problem of the statistical estimation of worst-case bounds for the execution time of a program on a processor. Our implementation uses the two versions of EVT - GEV and GPD - to propose two independent methods of estimation. Their results are compared and only results that are sufficiently close allow to validate an estimation. Our tool is proved predictable by its unique choice of block (GEV) and threshold (GPD) while proposant reproducible estimations.
Functional Description: EVT-Kopernic is tool proposing a statistical estimation for bounds on worst-case execution time of a program on a processor. The estimator takes into account dependences between execution times by learning from the history of execution, while dealing also with cases of small variability of the execution times.
News Of The Year: Any statistical estimator should come with an representative measurement protocole based on the processus of composition, proved correct. We propose the first such principle of composition while using a Bayesien modeling taking into account iteratively different measurement models. The composition model has been described in a patent submitted this year with a scientific publication under preparation.
