library functions timing characterization for source-level analysis
Execution time estimation of software at source-level is nowadays a crucial phase of the system design flow, especially for portable devices and real-time systems. From a source-level perspective, a call to an external library function is a black-box: only the binary code of such functions is, in fact, available. This paper proposes a methodology for library functions analysis within a source-level estimation framework.
