Speaker
Mr
Salvador Trujillo
(IKERLAN)
Description
The presentation is based on the experience of MultiPARTES, a research project aimed at developing tools and solutions for building trusted embedded systems with mixed criticality components on multicore platforms. The approach is based on developing an innovative open-source multicore-platform virtualization layer based on the XtratuM hypervisor. A software development methodology and its associated tools are developed in order to enable trusted real-time embedded systems to be developed as partitioned applications in a timely and cost-effective way. MultiPARTES is a collaborative research project supported by the European Union under the 7th Framework Programme in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The presentation introduces the project and in particular the industrial use cases, showing what can be achieved out of the space domain. Technical results are given about the capability to handle heterogeneous multicore platforms, about the partitioning layer and about performance. The presentation concludes on the applicability of such a software implementation option to space GNC applications.
