STRESS: A simulator for hard real‐time systems

Abstract

Abstract The STRESS environment is a collection of CASE tools for analysing and simulating the behaviour of hard real‐time safety‐critical applications. It is primarily intended as a means by which various scheduling and resource management algorithms can be evaluated, but can also be used to study the general behaviour of applications and real‐time kernels. This paper describes the structure of the STRESS language and its environment, and gives examples of its use.
