Safety-critical embedded systems having to meet real-time con-straints are to be highly predictable in order to guar-antee at design time that certain timing deadlines will always be met. This requirement usually prevents designers from utiliz-ing caches due to their highly dynamic, thus hardlypredictable The integration of scratchpad memories represents an alternative approach whichallows the system to a performance gain comparable to that of caches while at the same time maintaining predictability. In this work, we com-pare the impact of scratchpad memories and caches on worst case execution time (WCET) anulysis results. We show that caches, despite requiring complex techniques, can have a neg-ative impact on the predicted while the WCET ...
