Importance of Control Coupling and Data Flow Analysis in Certifying Multicore Systems
Most software development complies with standards like DO-178C and AMC 20-193, prioritizing determinism, partitioning, and interference mitigation. How can hardware-software co-design enable robust scheduling, partitioning, and interference management, ensuring deterministic system behaviour. Furthermore, what does verification and certification truly entail for multicore avionics platforms, considering the complex interplay between hardware and software in safety-critical environments?
