       Multi-core processors are increasingly considered as execution platforms for
       embedded systems because of their good performance/ energy ratio. However,
       the interference on shared resources poses several problems. It may severely
       reduce the performance of tasks executed on the cores, and it increases the
       complexity of timing analysis and/or decreases the precision of its results.
       In this paper, we survey recent work on the impact of shared buses, caches,
       and other resources on performance and performance prediction.
