Abstract
The traditional abstractions used in computer systems only concern themselves with the “functional” aspects of a program. This allows the use of techniques like speculative execution, caches, interrupts, and dynamic compilation that offer improved average-case performance at the expense of predictable execution times. The PRET project aims to improve the timing predictability at all layers of abstraction by carefully reexamining and reworking various architectural and compiler advancements with an eye toward their effects on timing behavior and worst-case bounds.
