chronVAL is a real-time analysis tool to analyze, optimize and validate single and distributed embedded systems with regard to worst case scenarios. The integrated design, diagnosis and test tool chronVAL enables designers to analyze the dynamic behavior of embedded systems' software and bus communication including multi processor configurations. Due to state of the art algorithms chronVAL delivers precise, meaningful results very fast. With increasing complexity of systems technology chronVAL has significant time and detail advantages against so far existing tools.

chronVAL Key Features:

• Mathematical analysis of the real-time behavior
• Verification of application deadlines
• Validation of maximum message latencies
• Evaluation of system performance
• Graphical visualization of results
• Abstract modeling of systems at task level
• Validation of single and multi processor systems
• Modeling of hierarchical scheduling methods
• Simple parameterization of complex stimuli
• Fast and significant results due to latest algorithms 
• Integration with real-time simulator chronSIM

Based on mathematical algorithms chronVAL analyses the real-time behavior of the software considering the hardware when stimulated by parameterized event scenarios. The hard- and software system architecture is modeled on an abstract level. By this abstraction it is possible to analyze the dynamics of complex embedded systems.

The integration with the real-time simulator chronSIM provides the methods to catch all critical system situations and evaluate them in the simulator. Without having to change the tool environment, simulation and analysis will offer different views to the real-time dynamics of distributed embedded systems.
