Abstract :
Accurate cache modeling and analysis are crucial to formally determine program execution time. Current cache analysis techniques combine basic block level cache modeling with explicit or implicit program path analysis. We show how to extend program and data cache modeling from basic blocks to program segments thereby increasing the overall execution time analysis precision. The approach combines architecture simulation, data flow analysis and implicit path enumeration
