Solving Complex
Multi-Level Aerospace and Defense Challenges

Despite the efforts of software engineers
to improve their design and development methodologies
and to simplify and standardize their development and
execution environments, technical innovations continue
to raise new challenges and increase the demand for even
more application complexity. Today’s embedded hardware
is faster with larger memory capacities, and most now
have a Memory Management Unit (MMU), that enables the
creation of hardware-enforced partitions running virtual
OS environments. In addition newer processors can better
integrate and execute more graphics, signaling,
communications, and high-speed multi-device
interconnectivity. Multi-core processors have arrived,
combining similar cores in a single die, or mixing CPU
cores with specialized DSPs. RTOS vendors offer
multi-partitioned solutions that allow mixing soft
real-time and hard real-time applications, and have
enabled safety-critical and security-critical
applications to reside side-by-side with non-critical
components in the same hardware platform. Add to this
the execution of mixed-language applications, and the
problems of complexity have become more difficult than
ever to efficiently address while maintaining system
robustness and application efficiency.
Join Wind River Systems and Aonix for a sober look at
the realities of today’s Aerospace and Defense
challenges and the solutions that are now available to
address complex, multi-level, mixed language
applications deployment. Chip Downing, Aerospace &
Defense Marketing Manager at Wind River will review the
state of real-time execution of safety-critical and
security-related applications in complex silicon and
application environments. Kelvin Nilsen will present how
an all-Java™ strategy can be used in these complex
systems to reduce overhead and performance bottlenecks.
Get valuable insights on how to get a handle on today’s
growing challenges.
