Predictable Use of Multicore in the Army and Beyond

Complex, cyber-physical DoD systems, such as aircraft, depend on correct timing to properly and reliably execute crucial sensing, computing, and actuation functions. In this webcast, SEI staff members Bjorn Andersson, PhD, Dionisio de Niz, PhD, and William Vance of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center will discuss using real-time software on multicore processors. Specifically, they will review the challenges that DoD and civilian systems face and the proven solutions that are available.

What Attendees Will Learn

• Why timing requirements matter
• The potential severity of being unaware of resource contention and not addressing it
• State-of-the-art tools and techniques to satisfy the real-time requirements of software executing on multicore processors
• How the DoD can use (and has used) these tools

Who Should Attend?

• DoD program managers and those who want to know about the opportunities and risks in using multicore processors
• Certifiers and those who want to know about tools and techniques that can be used to create certification evidence
• Software architects and those who want to know how to architect software so that real-time requirements are satisfied
• Software developer and those who want to know how to choose hardware, programming languages, and solution concepts so that real-time requirements are satisfied
• Software testers and those who want to know about formal verification techniques and testing techniques to make sure that real-time requirements are satisfied
