Early Timing Analysis of Vehicular Systems: the Road from Single-core to Multi-core

In the software development for vehicular embedded systems, timing predictability is paramount for the development of the vehicles’ safety features and for their customer value. Modern vehicles’ features require new level of computational power. On the one hand, multicore platforms can provide efficient support for these features. On the other hand, multi-core platforms complicate the software development of vehicular embedded systems as timing predictability is still an open issues for these platforms. In this paper we present a PhD work defining a model-based software development methodology which supports early timing analysis for vehicular embedded systems on multi-core.
