Resource usage
is one of the most important characteristics of programs. Automatically generated information about resource usage can be used in multiple ways, both during program development and deployment. In this paper we discuss and present examples on how such information is obtained in COSTA, a state of the art static analysis system. COSTA obtains safe symbolic upper bounds on the resource usage of a large class of general-purpose programs written in a mainstream programming language such as Java (bytecode). We also discuss the application of resource-usage information for
code certification
, whereby code not guaranteed to run within certain user-specified bounds is rejected.
