Memory Controllers for Real-Time Embedded Systems

Verification of real-time requirements in systems-on-chip becomes more complex as applications are integrated. This book explains the concepts of predictability and composability, and shows how to apply them to the design and analysis of a memory controller.

Provides an overview of trends in embedded system design that make design of real-time Cs difficult, error-prone, and expensive Introduces the concept of predictability, which is required for formal verification of real-time systems Introduces the concept of composability, which is a divide and conquer technique that enables performance verification per application, instead of monolithic verification for all applications together Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
