Popis: The precise determination of worst-case execution times (WCETs) for programs is mostly being performed on fully linked executables, since all needed information is available and all machine parameters influencing cache performance are available to the analysis. This paper describes how to perform a component-wise prediction of the instruction cache behavior guaranteeing conservative results compared to an analysis of a fully linked executable. This proves the correctness of the method based on a previous proof of correctness of the analysis of fully linked executables. The analysis is described for a general A-way set associative cache. The only assumption is that the replacement strategy is LRU.
