Description du projet
Faire passer les processeurs multicœurs au niveau supérieur
Les processeurs monocœurs n’étant plus adaptés, les systèmes embarqués critiques des industries aérospatiale et automobile doivent s’équiper de processeurs multicœurs. Le projet MASTECS, financé par l’UE, a identifié le besoin de mettre sur le marché une technologie innovante et exploitable pour l’analyse de la synchronisation des processeurs multicœurs afin de prendre en charge des fonctions logicielles avancées telles que la conduite autonome. Le projet s’appuiera sur la technologie MTA (développée par ses partenaires) et la fera passer du TRL6 au TRL8, tout en se conformant aux exigences en matière d’automatisation, de certification et de qualification. MASTECS lancera une offre combinée de produits et de services pour les marchés de l’aérospatiale et de l’automobile, qui réduira considérablement le délai de mise sur le marché de leurs systèmes.
Objectif
MASTECS will bring to the market innovative and exploitable technology for multicore processor timing analysis (MTA). It will be used by critical embedded software industries (focusing on automotive and avionics) to support advanced software functions (such as autonomous driving) which are competitive factors in every new product. MASTECS will enable these industries to exploit increased computing performance from multicore platforms allowing new functionally-rich critical and performance-demanding software, leading to reduced fatalities in the road, safer and cheaper air travel and reducing CO2 profile of planes and cars.
MASTECS builds on TRL6 MTA technology developed by its partners and currently being used in several commercial pilot studies by aerospace and automotive tier-1 suppliers. MASTECS will bring it to TRL8, addressing automation, certification, and qualification requirements.
The innovative inter-disciplinary MASTECS approach combines the hardware (multicore) expertise (BSC), software timing expertise (RPT), and end-user expertise in terms of requirements and certification (MM and UTRC). This award-winning technology will be commercialized to open a new market in which MASTECS will provide a highly competitive solution by focusing on process, automation and certification support to meet the needs of the safety critical industry.
MASTECS implements a solid dissemination and communication approach that ensures the offered product reaches its targeted industrial audience. MASTECS will launch a combined product/service offering for the aerospace and automotive markets, significantly reducing the time-to-market of their systems. The project will boost MTA technology for market take-up within 2 years of project start. Benefiting from first-to-market positioning helps to achieve faster and deeper market penetration. Exploitation also includes the creation of a new SME, spinning-out from BSC, whose registration has already started.
