Patent ID: 8533727

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing the real-time capability of a computer system that executes repeatedly task provided in the computer system, wherein execution of a task is triggered by an activation of the task that represents an event associated with the task, the method comprising: providing a plurality of descriptive elements that describe a time correlation of events as event streams; detecting using the event streams at least one of maximum time densities of the events and minimum time densities of the events; and providing at least a further descriptive element of a limiting event stream to which an amount of limited event streams is assigned, wherein the further descriptive element is (i) a first descriptive element that further describes a maximum time correlation of an entirety of events captured by at least two of the assigned limited event streams, wherein for at least a time interval dt, an amount of events admissible by the limiting event stream in dt, is lower than a sum of events admissible by the assigned limited event streams in dt, or (ii) a second descriptive element that further describes a minimum time correlation of an entirety of events captured by at least two of the assigned limited event streams, wherein for at least a time interval dt, an amount of events admissible by the limiting event stream in dt, exceeds a sum of events admissible by the assigned limited event streams in dt.
