How to perform Cost-Effective Multicore Verification – An Industrial Tutorial

In this tutorial, leading industry experts Rapita Systems, Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, Collins Aerospace Applied Research & Technology and Marelli will detail the latest innovations made by the MASTECS project (funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme).

What you will learn:

• How to meet DO-178C (CAST-32A/A(M)C 20-193) and ISO 26262 multicore-specific objectives.
• How leading aerospace (Collins Aerospace Applied Research & Technology) and automotive (Marelli) companies plan to use new technologies and approaches to develop robust multicore systems.
• How to use BSC’s MicroBenchmark technology (branded as RapiDaemons by Rapita) to characterize and quantify multicore interference channels.
• How to characterize and select multicore hardware.
• How to automate the collection of multicore timing metrics (including WCET)

A tutorial for industry

In this online event, the MASTECs partners will showcase the latest approaches being used in the safety-critical industry to verify complex multicore systems. Intended for industry experts, the partners will detail how to overcome the challenges of verifying multicore timing behavior and how to comply with certification objectives based on DO-178C (CAST-32A & A(M)C 20-193) and ISO 26262.

The tutorial will focus on how avionics and automotive system designers can make multicore verification as automatable and cost-effective as possible. Industry experts will deliver a combination of advanced tooling demonstrations, industrial case studies and practical tips which provide an informative training for achieving multicore certification.
