Descrizione del progetto
Una via rivoluzionaria per la programmazione software
Tecnologie intelligenti come la realtà aumentata o i droni stanno diventando sempre più la norma nella vita delle persone. I modelli di software esistenti non sono sufficienti a tenere il passo con le tecnologie intelligenti come le auto senza conducente. Per risolvere questo problema, il progetto FuSy, finanziato dall’UE, offre uno strumento di programmazione chiamato SLX. Questo strumento di sviluppo multicore fornisce informazioni sull’esecuzione del software in merito alle interdipendenze hardware e software, consentendo di progettare e rifattorizzare il codice per ottenere un utilizzo ottimale di tutti i motori di accelerazione utilizzati sui sistemi multicore. Sarà prima potenziato e adattato per l’applicazione automobilistica e successivamente per la visione incorporata, l’aviazione e la difesa.
Obiettivo
Intelligent technologies such as autonomous cars, augmented reality or drones will soon become an integral part of our everyday lives and revolutionize many areas of our economy and industry. However, the technology community currently working on the development of these products is facing a substantial problem: the dramatic gap between hardware and software development. While the necessary, highly-performant hardware - in particular multicore processors (a processor with several cores) - is currently available to design these new technologies, an important hurdle persists in programming the software to be run on hardware platforms with increasingly numerous, complex and heterogeneous components. Since no tool exists that simulates the whole functioning of such platforms, users have no insight in advance of the processors’ utilization, which often leads to a system overload and instability. Currently, users must rely on e.g. laborious manual methods or unrealistic model-based tools. The FuSy project offers the solution: SLX, the first programming tool with full-system simulation function, which gives, in an automated process, unprecedented system insights into the behavior of multiple applications running simultaneously on complex hardware platforms. SLX allows to optimally use the existing hardware and computing power and automates tasks that take months with state-of-the-art methods into a few hours. SLX was introduced as a tool suite by company Silexica in 2015 in the wireless baseband and 5G industries. Now, within the FuSy project, it must be upgraded into a full-system simulation tool and its automotive application adapted. Silexica plans a step-by-step introduction into its target markets of automotive, embedded vision and aviation and defense - a TAM currently estimated at €810bn. With help of the SME funding, Silexica expects to reach, mainly via licenses sales, a turnover of €36.3M (of it €34.9M with FuSy) and a staff count of 210 employees by 2024.
