Two-Day DO-178C Multicore Training - Fort Worth, TX

Led by multicore experts from Rapita Systems and Wind River, the training will focus on practical approaches to satisfying CAST-32A / A(M)C 20-193 objectives for both civil and defense multicore avionics projects.

Through a mix of theory and practical training, attendees will learn how to:

• Leverage industry-best approaches to CAST-32A / AMC 20-193 compliance
• Interpret AC 20-193 / AMC 20-193 and what the objectives mean in practice
• Select the right multicore hardware for your project
• Characterize and quantify multicore interference in your platform
• Estimate worst-case-execution-time for multicore platforms
• Demonstrate robust partitioning in your multicore system
• Integrate CAST-32A / AC 20-193 evidence into your existing DO-178C workflow
