SymTA/S is a system‑level performance and timing analysis approach that uses formal scheduling analysis and symbolic simulation. The paper provides an overview of current research interests in the SymTA/S project. The tool supports heterogeneous architectures and complex task dependencies, computes end‑to‑end latencies, bus and processor utilisation, worst‑case scheduling scenarios, and integrates optimisation algorithms with system sensitivity analysis for rapid design space exploration.
SymTA/S is a system-level performance and timing analysis approach based on formal scheduling analysis techniques and symbolic simulation. The tool supports heterogeneous architectures, complex task dependencies and context aware analysis. It determines system-level performance data such as end-to-end latencies, bus and processor utilisation, and worst-case scheduling scenarios. SymTA/S furthermore combines optimisation algorithms with system sensitivity analysis for rapid design space exploration. The paper gives an overview of current research interests in the SymTA/S project.
