Abstract: A computer device for characterising execution time by a processor, comprising a memory (8) which receives benchmark program data, sets of characterisation configuration data and sets of execution case data, and a constructor (4) which determines, for each set of execution case data, a set of worst-case configuration data of the processor and a set of initialisation values based on a set of execution case data, and determining a reference execution time by executing the benchmark program according to the set of execution case data using the processor configured with the set of configuration data with the set of initialisation values, all the reference execution times forming a set of reference execution times.

Abstract: The invention relates to a simulation device including: —a memory (2) receiving a dataset representing parameter measurements; —a selector (4) capable of producing a set of sub-datasets from the dataset, each sub-dataset from said set including consecutive data from the dataset, the number of which is a whole integer received as a variable by the selector (4); —an evaluator (6) capable of calculating, from a value set defining a curve, a form factor indicating a probability of correspondence between the curve defined by the value set and a Gumbel curve; and—a driver (8) arranged so as to call the selector (4) with a plurality of numbers for generating a plurality of sub-dataset sets, select the data, the measurement value of which is highest, within each sub-dataset from each sub-dataset set, create a plurality of curve datasets by combining the data selected from each set, call the evaluator (6) with the plurality of curve datasets, and select the curve dataset for which the form factor indicates the highest
