Abstract :
This paper examines several techniques for static timing analysis. In detail, the first part of the paper analyzes the connection of prediction accuracy (worst case execution time) and applicability of a methodology for modeling and analysis of instruction as well as data cache behavior. The second part of the paper proposes a timing analysis technique for super-scalar processors. The objects of our studies are two processors of the PowerPC family, in particular the PPC403 and the MPC750
