Online Time Interference Detection in Mixed-Criticality Applications on Multicore Architectures using Performance Counters

In this paper a novel technique is proposed for online detection of timing interference in multicore architectures. The technique is aimed at mixed-criticality workloads. This paper describes a method to use hardware performance counters to detect such misbehaviors. Experimental data is gathered, showing the viability of this method. The method can be used as safety-net in several scheduling approaches.
