Kurzfassung englisch:
Research on WCET analysis and time-predictable systems faces difficulties when it comes to the evaluation of new ideas. Even conceptually simple improvements need a large and complex infrastructure to validate their usefulness. This infrastructure comprises suitable benchmark suites, program analysis tools, compilers for possibly non-standard instruction set architectures, realistic simulators and/or hardware and, last but not least, a WCET analysis tool supporting the architecture and its experimental extensions. In order to mitigate this problem, we argue for an open and extensible evaluation platform that is centered around a mainstream open-source compiler framework and open computer architectures. We investigate a possible candidate built around the LLVM compiler framework and an open-source processor, and present a case study tying together two existing tools from academia and industry. The experiences so far suggest that such a platform simplifies the integration of different research efforts, and thus has a positive impact on the quality of research and teaching in the WCET analysis community.
