Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the problem of inter-task cache interference in preemptive multi-tasking real-time systems. A prioritized cache is used to reduce cache conflicts among tasks by partitioning the cache. Cache partitions are assigned to tasks according to their priorities. We extend a known tool, SYMTA, in order to estimate the Worst Case Execution Time of tasks executing on a uniprocessor with a unified prioritized L1 cache. Furthermore, we apply a formal timing analysis approach to estimate the Worst Case Response Time of tasks using the prioritized cache. The prioritized cache is compared to a conventional set associative cache of the same size. Our experiments show that the WCRT estimate can be reduced up to 50% when a prioritized cache is used.
