At Ada Europe 2009, Rapita Director Ian Broster will be giving a tutorial entitled "Execution Time: Analysis, Verification, and Optimization in Reliable Systems".
The tutorial will cover key aspects on-target timing analysis: finding worst case execution times (WCET) and the worst case path, and why worst case optimization is not the same as average execution optimization. Practical issues of looking for the worst-case "hot-spots", identifying timing bugs and verifying optimisation opportunities will be explained with examples of worst case optimizations. See http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/rst2009/program/tutorial_details#t9 for further details on the tutorial.
Ada Europe is being held in Brest, France on 9th-12th June 2009. The Rapita Tutorial takes place on Friday 12th.
Rapita will also be exhibiting the RapiTime on target execution time profiling tool
