DSPACE, VaST Collaborate on Simulating Automotive Software

Early validation of conventional and AUTOSAR-compliant automotive software
PADERBORN, Germany, Sept. 23 -- dSPACE GmbH and VaST today announced a collaboration in simulating automotive and AUTOSAR-compliant software on virtual hardware platforms. The goal of the collaboration is to closely couple dSPACE's automotive software development tools TargetLink and SystemDesk with VaST's virtualization tools COMET and METeor. Users of these tools can replace hardware prototypes with virtual system prototypes to simulate and validate automotive software applications on early in the design flow.
The combined development tools provide accurate timing and deeper performance visibility in the hardware and software operations for single or networked ECU systems. Developers can accurately profile and quantify system behavior for time-critical applications. Details such as execution times, scheduling, and interrupt latencies can be analyzed and quickly refined early in the design flow, which results in a much better hardware and software design.
TargetLink and SystemDesk from dSPACE
The production code generator TargetLink generates highly efficient C code directly from Simulink/Stateflow models and is used in numerous production projects all over the world. Several modes for simulation support the development process, e.g. a processor-in-the-loop simulation where the application code is executed on an embedded processor.
SystemDesk is a tool that supports users in developing software for single electronic control units (ECUs) and networks of ECUs by assisting them when they model, plan and integrate complex distributed software systems. The software system can be validated during different development steps by executing the system model in an offline simulation on the host PC.
Both tools support the development of software according to the AUTOSAR standard.
COMET and METeor from VaST
COMET is a system engineering tool enabling the creation of virtual system prototypes (VSP). With COMET, designers create and simulate high-speed, cycle-accurate models of ECUs and networked ECUs, then analyze and optimize performance while running real software applications. METeor is an interactive software development environment for VSPs created with COMET. With METeor, software developers simulate, debug, and develop better-quality software early in the design flow.

Parallel Computing Without Parallel Programming
Jul 10 | | Engineers, scientists, and other domain experts depend on the productivity enabled by very high-level language (VHLL) tools like MATLAB® and Python. However, as datasets grow larger and programs get more sophisticated, ordinary desktop computers can no longer keep up. The paper explores how to run VHLL programs on high-performance platforms without low-level reprogramming. Work with large datasets and complex algorithms without sacrificing ease of use or reducing productivity.
