Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) is crucial in real-time systems and is very challenging in multicore processors due to the possible runtime inter-thread interferences caused by shared resources. This paper proposes a novel approach to analyze runtime inter-core interferences for consecutive or inconsecutive concurrent programs. Our approach can reasonably estimate runtime inter-core interferences in shared cache by introducing lifetime and instruction fetching timing relations analysis into address mapping method. Compared with the method based on lifetime alone, our proposed approach efficiently improves the tightness of WCET estimation.
