• The Roadmap for Multicore Hardware

  Is Robust Partitioning achievable with a multi-core system?

  The multicore hardware roadmap focuses on delivering deterministic, safety-certifiable processors that meet escalating performance requirements without sacrificing reliability. Hardware designers must implement robust spatial and temporal isolation, minimize core and shared resource interference, and comply with DO-254, CAST-32A, and AMC 20-193 standards. Critical questions remain: Is current hardware sufficiently mature for safety-critical certification? How are suppliers ensuring long-term availability, configurability, and comprehensive toolchain support? What future and upcoming technologies can provide complete or partial solutions to these challenges? As performance demands grow and costs rise, can hardware innovation keep pace with the avionics industry’s stringent needs for predictability, traceability, and certifiability?

• Standards, Regulations and Mitigation Challenges for Multicore

  Multicore Certification Beyond AMC 20-193

  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.
