Estimates of execution time of embedded software play an important role in function-architecture co-design. This paper describes a technique based upon a statistical approach that improves existing estimation techniques. Our approach provides a degree of reliability in the error of the estimated execution time. We illustrate the technique using both control-oriented and computational-dominated benchmark programs.
