Company History

Selected Milestones

The company was founded as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2016. The idea for emmtrix Technologies originated in the cutting-edge research in the European FP7-Project ALMA that focused on the architecture-oriented parallelization for high-performance embedded multicore systems. The core technology of the ALMA project was taken as the basis for the tools emmtrix Parallel Studio and emmtrix Code Generator and was further developed for industrial requirements. This led to the development of safety-relevant features like a qualification kit for the parallelization to address standards like ISO 26262 or DO-330 for automotive and avionic industries.

In the following years, a workflow around the parallelization in emmtrix Parallel Studio was established that supported input languages like C, MATLAB® and Simulink as well as open alternatives like Scilab and GNU Octave.

In 2020, emmtrix began to broaden its focus to software parallelization, performance estimation, code conversion, and static source code analysis.

Intensifying cooperation with first customers led to a focus on two areas: code analysis and code optimization. In 2023, emmtrix introduced emmtrix Studio as a framework with different tools for analysis (emmtrix Performance Estimator and emmtrix Dependency Analyzer) and optimization (emmtrix Parallel Studio and emmtrix Code Vectorizer).

In 2026, the portfolio expanded with the introduction of the emmtrix Edge AI Compiler within emmtrix Studio. It combines code generation from ONNX and PyTorch models with target-specific transformations and optimizations, bringing AI workloads into embedded software development workflows.

Today, emmtrix combines its compiler technologies with engineering and consulting services for embedded software projects across automotive, aerospace, space, and other industries. Applications in the space sector build on the same core expertise: analyzing software, adapting code to target hardware, and supporting efficient embedded deployment.
