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. %@ 1350-2387 %T System level performance analysis – the SymTA/S approach %B IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques %D March 2005 %V 152 %N 2 %P 148-166 %I %U https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=2e5rhe0p8xd2k.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/ip-cdt_20045088 %G EN
