Component based performance prediction for network processor based system

More and more complex embedded system use component based development. Non-functional properties of component model are used to predict performance of the final system. We analyzed the thread properties of component in network processor based system. The proposed method is based on the thread properties and provides quantified performance of the component, and so we can predict the performance of final system at composing time. The experiments show that the difference between theoretic and simulation result is less than 10%.
