ABSTRACT
In this paper a comprehensive methodology for software execution time estimation is presented. The methodology is supported by rigorous mathematical models of C statements in terms of elementary operations. The deterministic contribution is combined with a statistical term accounting for all those aspects that cannot be quantified exactly. The methodology has been validated by realizing a complete prototype toolset, used to carry out the experiments.

A system-level power-estimation methodology based on IP-level modeling, power-level adjustment, and power accumulation
ASP-DAC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation ConferenceWe have developed a specialized rapid power-estimation methodology for multimedia applications. This methodology has adequate accuracy for the first design of a complicated SoC. For a multimedia application, we developed three new methodologies: an IP-...
Assembly instruction level reverse execution for debugging
Assembly instruction level reverse execution provides a programmer with the ability to return a program to a previous state in its execution history via execution of a "reverse program." The ability to execute a program in reverse is advantageous for ...
Runtime exception detection in Java programs using symbolic execution
Most of the runtime failures of a software system can be revealed during test execution only, which has a very high cost. In Java programs, runtime failures are manifested as unhandled runtime exceptions.
In this paper we present an approach and tool ...
