Guaranteed Component Assembly with Round Trip Analysis for Energy Efficient High-integrity Multi-core Systems
Emerging embedded systems platforms harnessing new heterogeneous, multicore architectures to enable the next generation of powerful mission-critical applications are demanding across-the-board advances in all areas of design and development to fulfil their promise. The integration of component-based design with model-drivendevelopment creates a potent combination especially capable of mastering the complexity of these new systems.
CONCERTO will deliver a reference multi-domain architectural framework for complex, highly concurrent, and multi-core systems, where non-functional properties (including real-time, dependability, and energy management) will be established for individual components, derived for the overall system at design time, andpreserved by construction and monitoring at run-time.
The CONCERTO framework that will be developed in the proejct will integrate:
- Correctness-by-construction for multicore systems with innovative model-to-code transformation techniques targeted at their special characteristics.
- A multi-view, hierarchical cross-domain design space sufficiently rich to enable a compositional approach to the next generation of complex, heterogeneous platform architectures.
- Support for iterative and incremental development of multicore systems through simulation and early model-based analysis, with fully automated back propagation of results to the user model.
- Hardware modeling facilities equipped to cope with the new generation of heterogeneous, multicore platforms.
- Advances in run-time monitoring of mission- and operation-critical non-functional properties such as energy consumption on partitioned and multicore processor architectures.
The applicability of the CONCERTO solutions to multiple industrial domains (including aerospace, telecoms,automotive, petroleum and medical) will be ensured through the elaboration of representative industrial usecases. CONCERTO builds on the previous CHESS project results from the ARTEMIS programme, as well as the results ofseveral other related projects
