Multicore Certification Beyond AMC 20-193

Karl Thyssen Senior Multicore Engineer / Rapita Systems Ltd, UK

Multicore processors are key to the future of avionics, offering greater performance, reduced SWaP, and support for advanced real-time applications. This session will provide an overview of the certification landscape shaping multicore avionics systems. Gain clarity on evolving standards—DO-178C, DO-254, CAST-32A, and AMC 20-193—and their impact on safety, determinism, and interference mitigation. The discussion aims to highlight regulatory expectations, risk management approaches, and compliance strategies critical to delivering certifiable multicore solutions. Understand the challenges for standards bodies, certification tools, regulators and the supply chain shaping the future of multicore avionics compliance.
