Abstract

This paper examines the problem of statically analyzing the performance of embedded software. This problem is motivated by the increasing growth of embedded systems and a lack of appropriate analysis tools.We study different performance metrics that need tobe considered in this context and examine a range oftechniques that have been proposed for analysis. Verybroadly these can be classified into path analysis andsystem utilization analysis techniques. It is observedthat these are interdependent, and thus need to beconsidered together in any analysis framework.
