Verifying multicore hardware and software

Multicore processors are being rapidly adopted by the avionics industry due to their improved Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) characteristics combined with the diminishing availability of single-core processors. Whilst more powerful, multicore-based systems present a set of additional challenges when it comes to verifying and certifying avionics systems. NXP, Curtiss-Wright and Rapita Systems are leading the industry approach to solving the verification and certification challenges multicore processors present.

In this webinar, experts from the companies describe where their solutions fit into the multicore avionics ecosystem and how they work together to enable the safe use of multicore processors in safety-critical systems (as per AC 20-193, AMC 20-193 and CAST-32A). The presenters also describe how you can participate in industry working groups like the Multi-Core For Avionics (MCFA) group, which grants industry stakeholders access to normally-restricted multicore hardware IP.

This technical event also features a live demonstration of the latest hardware and software technologies designed to solve multicore challenges.

Rapita's Multicore Timing solution has been part-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 878752.
