Video demo: AGI

The board in the middle of the table is Airbus specific hardware. The chip on this board is a Xilinx Zynq 7000 with an integrated ARM processor. PetaLinux is running on this computer and it controls a real-time system which balances a ball on top of a platform. A camera and different algorithms are used to determine the current location of the ball. The results of a PID controller running on the Airbus board are sent to the motors to move the platform. Video. This control software is observed by the COEMS tools. More specific, the CEDAR box (connected with

COEMS workshop @ HiPEAC, Valencia, 21. Jan. 2019

Call for Participation Continuous Observation of Embedded Multicore Systems (COEMS) @ HiPEAC Conference, Valencia, January 21, 2019 Dear HiPEAC colleagues, We warmly invite you to participate in the project workshop COEMS (https://www.coems.eu/). Within the COEMS (Continuous Observation of Embedded Multicore Systems) project a novel platform for online monitoring of multicore systems is developed. It is targeting to provide insight into the system’s behaviour without affecting it. This insight is crucial to detect non-deterministic failures as for example caused by race conditions and access to inconsistent data. The workshop is presenting the current state of project findings and developments. Several talks

Multicore Integration in Avionic Systems

Integration of multicore systems is rather new in the context of avionic systems. Even though there are many initiatives to enable multicores for avionic use cases, reality is still the use of single-core systems. The reason for this are manifold regulations and the long product cycles: any product developed for application in airborne systems need to be certified. This certification is extremely expensive and, hence, once a system is certified it will be used for many years. Novel developments require a good reason that must be more than just higher integration. Moreover, if higher integration is an argument, multiple systems
