Optimize Reliable Software with Rapita Systems at Ada-Europe 2012

York, UK, 1st June 2012 How to Optimize Reliable Software is the message Ian Broster and Andrew Coombes of Rapita Systems are taking to Ada-Europe 2012. Addressing common misconceptions and pitfalls in approaches to solving timing problems, this tutorial explains a process which:

• identifies code that contributes the most to the overall worst-case execution time;
• asks “what if” questions about the outcome of optimization; and
• targets optimization effort where it will have the maximum benefit for the minimum cost.

This tutorial will benefit embedded software developers and managers who need to engineer reliable, embedded software and includes an opportunity for hands-on work, leading to a competition and prize for the best optimization. The tutorial will be held on the morning of Monday June 11th in the Merkurius room. Andrew will deliver a technical presentation in The Atrium on Tuesday 12th June from 17:00 - 17:30. Ada-Europe 2012 takes place in Stockholm, Sweden, from 11 – 15 June. For more details visit http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/ae2012/
