Workshop 2012 “A cross-domain approach for mixed-criticality integration based on heterogeneous MPSoCs”
January 24, 2012

An ACROSS Workshop on “A cross-domain approach for mixed-criticality integration based on heterogeneous MPSoCs” was hosted by the HiPEAC 2012 conference.

Background

ACROSS is an ARTEMIS research project that aims to develop and implement an MPSoC-based ARTEMIS cross-domain reference architecture for embedded systems. The ACROSS MPSoC will be a universal platform for automotive, aerospace and industrial control systems in order to realize the benefits of the economies of scale of the semiconductor technology. Additionally, it provides significant potential for being adopted by other industries with safety-critical data communication requirements such as applications in the medical, power generation, space domains, to mention just a few. ACROSS will result in the design of a generic MPSoC and a first implementation in an FPGA. The hardware implementation of the MPSoC will be accompanied by an operating system, middleware and a complete tool chain.

Workshop Scope

This workshop introduced the cross-domain approach developed within ACROSS. In particular the following aspects were conveyed:

• Challenges and solutions for mixed-criticality integration in heterogeneous MPSoCs
• Heterogeneous MPSoCs and guaranteed real-time performance
• Cross-domain development methodologies
• Industrial applications of the introduced technologies

Overview of Workshop Program

For details on speakers and abstracts click on the respective talk.

• “Composability in the ACROSS architecture” (TU Vienna)
• “A platform for mixed criticality applications” (TTTech Computertechnik AG)
• “A cross-domain methodology for MPSoCs” (fortiss)
• “ACROSS in the Automotive Domain” (AVL List GmbH)
• “ACROSS in the Aerospace Domain” (SELEX Sistemi Integrati S.p.A. and CASSIDIAN)
• “ACROSS in the Industrial-Control Domain” (Siemens AG Österreich)
• “RECOMP: Reduced Certification Costs for Trusted Multi-core Platforms” (Technical University of Denmark)
• “ACROSS as a Component of a System-of-Systems” (TU Vienna)
• Panel Discussion “One uniform architecture for multiple domains - technical challenge or impossible vision?”

Target Audience

This workshop was targeted at OEMs, suppliers and researchers in the areas of:

• automotive
• aerospace
• industrial control
• other industries for safety-critical requirements such as medical, power generation, space domains,...

In the near future most processors will be based on multi-core technology, which poses fundamentally new challenges on many embedded application domains. In this workshop you will learn how to employ multi-core technology in embedded applications that are safety-critical and have stringent requirements on real-time properties and certification aspects.

Venue

The ACROSS Workshop took place at the EuroSites George V in Paris, France, in conjunction with HiPEAC 2012.
