Important results from the project
The overall objectives of the EMC2 project were addressed and solutions developed to overcome the challenges: - Dynamic Adaptability in Open Systems, - Utilization of expensive system features only as Service-on-Demand to reduce the overall system cost, - Handling of mixed criticality applications under real-time conditions - Scalability and utmost flexibility - Full scale deployment and management of integrated tool chains through the entire lifecycle.
Expected long term effects
The results of the EMC2 project can be divided into two categories: the technologies and the living labs demonstrators. Together they lead the way to solutions that improve the development of systems that use multi-core processors systems on chip in safety critical applications in contexts that can dynamically changes. The living labs´ demonstrators are great examples of theses achievements in different fields. EMC2 has produced a comprehensive video to lift up these major outcomes.
Approach and implementation
This embedded system approach forced the breakthrough and deployment of Multi-Core technology in almost all application domains Space, Transport, Health Care, Energy, and Industry where real-time and mixed-criticality are an issue. The EMC2 project was organized in a matrix structure with horizontal and vertical activities closely linked to each other: - Horizontal activities with so-called technological work packages, - Vertical activities with so-called Living Labs. With this organization, the new technologies were validated in real applications.
