Interactive Execution Time Predictions using Reference Attributed Grammars

Abstract
A central problem for real-time scheduling is to acquire tight but conservative bounds on task execution times. We present a prototype for an environment where such bounds are interactively presented, in terms of source code constructs, to the programmer during development. The prototype is based on the language development tool APPLAB and uses an extended attribute grammar formalism, reference attributed grammars (RAGs), which overcomes some drawbacks of conventional attribute grammars in this context (e.g. description of non-local dependencies). In this paper we show how timing schemata can be implemented as RAGs. Our experience is that the RAG approach allows timing schemata to be implemented in a clear, concise, and modular manner.
