Keynote, co-located with TCRS Workshop, Certification of (hybrid) multi-core architectures

Claire Pagetti, Senior research scientist, ONERA

Abstract: Multi-core processors have been available for many years on the market and they have been consequently embedded in safety-critical systems (e.g. automotive domain) for more than a decade. They have yet to break through in the avionic domain, one subject to certification. To allow the use of new technologies in a system, the applicant to certification must ensure safety properties and in particular its compliance with certification standards. The A(M)C AMC20-152A and AMC20-193 (formally CAST 32A) define objectives for the respective certification of hardware platforms and of multi-core processors. The PHYLOG project (2016 - 2020) proposed a methodology to facilitate the certification of multi-core processors in the avionic domain. Among the project outcomes, we will present the formal language PML that helps identify interferences within processors, and a stressing benchmarks methodology to help quantify the impact of said interferences.
Multi-core processors certification is now a reality and many applicants are working towards their certification. The emergence of Deep Neural Network (DNN) and machine learning-based applications paved the way for a new generation of hybrid hardware platforms. Hybrid platforms embed several cores and hardware accelerators in a small package. PHYLOG 2, as a follow up of PHYLOG, aims to prepare for the certification of these new platforms. We will present the advancement of the PHYLOG methodology extension for them.

Bio: Claire Pagetti is a senior research scientist at ONERA. She holds a research chair in the ANITI project on “New certification approaches of AI based systems for civil aeronautics”. Her fields of interest concern the safe implementation of safety critical applications on avionic platforms. She has contributed to several industrial, European and French projects that lead to several publications and industrial developments.
