TwinSpace

emmtrix is member of the TwinSpace consortium. The goal of the project is to make software development for embedded systems more sustainable by optimizing the use of resources. An innovative combination of automated reverse engineering and simulated hardware platform testing facilitates software migration by generating optimal code for each specific hardware.

The emmtrix tools are used to extract representative load profiles from existing software applications and generate code with the same characteristics for execution on digital twins. This enables design space exploration to analyze the expected runtime behavior on different platforms.

December 2022 – November 2025

MANNHEIM-CeCaS – Central Car Server-Supercomputing für Automotive

emmtrix is part of the MANNHEIM-CeCaS project. The project aims to address the challenges of automotive digitalization through the use of automotive supercomputing platforms. They are based on FinFET technology and feature application-specific accelerators and adaptive software platforms. emmtrix will contribute with its expertise in C-code optimization for efficient programming of these novel platforms and static performance estimation with the aim of supporting applications with a high level of functional safety. The three-year project started in 12/2022 and will end in 11/2025. The project has 26 partners, including major automotive companies such as Bosch, Continental and ZF Friedrichshafen, universities such as KIT and TU Munich, research institutes from Fraunhofer and SMEs such as emmtrix and is coordinated by Infineon Technologies.

StorAIge – Embedded storage elements on next MCU generation ready for AI on the edge 

Within the European research and innovation project “StorAIge – Embedded storage elements on next MCU generation ready for AI on the edge” emmtrix will extend their development environment emmtrix Parallel Studio (ePS) to support parallelization and optimization of AI applications with respect to StorAIge features, such as new types of memories and AI acceleration. To facilitate development, emmtrix will integrate a virtual target platform in ePS and work on estimating the performance of computing with next-generation memory technologies.

This project has received funding from the ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101007321.
The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme in France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey.

June 2020 – December 2023

Qualifiable Software Parallelization for Multicore Avionics Systems

Since June 2020, emmtrix Technologies has been part of a new research project called “Qualifiable Software Parallelization for Multicore Avionics Systems” (QSMA) as part of the German Aviation Research Programme (LUFO VI). Together with AbsInt and the Technical University Clausthal, emmtrix will develop a qualification kit for emmtrix Parallel Studio that allows qualification of the generated parallel C code according to DO-178C. In addition to that, the tools will be further developed to provide the required reporting and tracing capabilities for the development of avionic systems.

January 2020 – Q1 2022

Remote Configuration of Licensable-IP in FPGA Systems

In this 2-year research project from “Zentrale Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand” (ZIM), emmtrix was further improving their support for FPGA based systems. Together with WIBU Systems and the academic partners KIT and FZI, new solutions for securing and licensing of IP cores were developed. The goal of the project was to make the complex workflow of development and deployment of secure accelerators easier for the developers of such systems.

July 2019 – June 2022

European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Project CPS4EU

emmtrix Technologies was part of the European research and innovation project “Cyber Physical Systems for Europe” (CPS4EU). Within the project, the consortium that includes large European companies like Thales, Valeo, Leonardo and Trumpf, wanted to tackle the challenges of designing and programming future cyber physical systems (CPS). emmtrix focused on providing a toolchain that enables easy programming of CPSs starting from model-based design flows. Additionally, emmtrix also worked on defining an architecture description language (ADL) that bridges the gap between the integrated target platforms and the tools to program them.

This project has received funding from the ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 826276.
The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and France, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Germany.

December 2019 – November 2022

EIC Accelerator (former SME instrument) programme

emmtrix benefited from the support of the European Union’s research and innovation programme Horizon 2020 EIC Accelerator. During the project we focused on the automotive market, in particular topics such as performance estimation at early development stages, data dependency analysis, accelerating computation with vector processors, and the safety-qualification of our tools. We very much appreciated the support we ot from a network of experts and our project management at EASME (EU Executive Agency for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises).

January 2016 – December 2018

EU-Project ARGO

emmtrix contributed to the European research project ARGO (WCET-Aware Parallelization of Model-Based Applications for Heterogeneous Parallel Systems). The goal of ARGO was to develop a toolchain which translates model-based Scilab/Xcos applications into multi-core optimized C code with guaranteed real-time constraints.

November 2011 – March 2015

EU-Project ALMA

Within the framework of the EU project ALMA, Dr.-Ing. Timo Stripf, Michael Rückauer and Oliver Oey from the KIT Institute for Information Processing Technology (ITIV) developed with other scientists and in cooperation with industry partners an innovative programming environment which simplifies parallelization of multicore embedded systems. Based on the software tool developed in ALMA, they decided to start their own company. In 2015, the ALMA technology was commercialized by emmtrix Technology. The innovative interactive parallelization technology creates a parallel application directly from sequential MATLAB™ or Scilab code.
