Multi-core computers are infamous for being hard to use in time-critical systems due to execution-time variations as an effect of shared resource contention. In this thesis, we study the problem of shared resource contention, which occurs when multiple applications executing on different cores do not have exclusive access to of a shared hardware resource. We investigate performance variations of parallel tasks in multi-core systems and present a method to pinpoint the source of the resource contention using hardware performance counters. We investigate mitigation methods for performance variations due to resource contention, including the Jailhouse hypervisor and the cache-partitioning tool PALLOC. We propose a benchmark strategy that quant...
