In modern computers, memory hierarchies play a paramount role in improving the average execution time. However, this fact is not so important in realtime systems, where the worst-case execution time is what matters the most. System designers must use complex analyses to guarantee that all tasks meet their deadlines. As an alternative to making those complex analyses, it is proposed to build a memory hierarchy such that it provides high performance coalesced with high predictability. At the same time, the memory assist should imply small-scale modifications in the hardware. The solution is to be centred on instruction fetching since it represents the highest number of memory accesses. 1
