Abstract
In a method for determining a worst case service latency, first a number of accesses granted to requesting channels during the worst case service latency is determined. Therefore, the ordered list of priorities and the priority passing rules of a scheduler of the queuing system is taken into consideration so that an accurate number of access requests during the worst case service latency results. According to the number of access requests, states are selected for the different requesting channels so that the sum of the state execution times reaches a maximum according to the applicable priority passing rules. This method can be implemented by a computer program and can be advantageously used for design of an apparatus which incorporates a queuing system, such as in automobile electronics.
