Platform and configuration evaluation
Platform Packs build on the MACH178 Core Pack, providing additional tools and artifacts that can be used to evaluate multicore platforms and configurations, collect verification results on a multicore platform, and provide certification evidence.
Platform Pack
Hardware Resources Indentification (HRID) Reports
A Hardware Resources Identification Report (HRID) provides a comprehensive list of hardware resources available on multicore platform, and an analysis of the potential for interference on each resource.
They help engineering teams correctly scope multicore interference analysis, reducing the risk of overlooking critical resources and directly supporting A(M)C 20-193 objectives MCP_Planning_2 and MCP_Resource_Usage_4.


Platform Pack
Hardware Event Monitor (HEM) Libraries
Hardware Event Monitor (HEM) Libraries support the collection of values from HEMs on a multicore platform, which are crucial for validating the behavior of multicore platforms during test scenarios.
They support understanding and analysis of how hardware is impacted by testing and interference generation for single active core and multicore systems, and the generation of certification evidence for multicore software behavior.
Platform Pack
Benchmarking Reports and Test Artifacts
Benchmarking Reports and Test Artifacts enable performance benchmarking and evaluation of multicore processors used in single active core or multicore modes.
This supports feasibility analysis for single active core operation based on software requirements, and evaluation of multicore platforms and configurations to mitigate multicore interference impact and verification cost.
