Olivier Charrier
- Principal Technologist – Functional Safety
- Wind River
Olivier obtained a Master’s degree in Software Engineering (DESS) from Bordeaux I University in 1989. Prior to joining Wind River, Olivier worked for ALSYS / AONIX developing and integrating Ada development environment for embedded systems.
Olivier Joined Wind River in June 2001 where he held several roles with a strong focus on functional safety in the Aerospace & Defence market.
In the same timeframe he joined the SAE/ARINC APEX Software Subcommittee to participate in the elaboration of the ARINC 653 standard.
Since January 2017 Olivier has extended his scope to other markets, like Railway, Nuclear, Medical and Automotive, becoming Wind River’s Functional Safety Specialist worldwide.
In 2021, Olivier joined the Linux Foundation’ s ELISA Project (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications) and recently became one of its Ambassadors.

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?
