emmtrix are experts in static code analysis, code optimisation and code generation. We provide tools and related services to support software developers.

While our focus is on offering tools, we also provide all services relating to these tools, for example tool customization, support for new target platforms, additional features, trainings and technical consulting in our focus areas.

Our tools can be licensed in many ways, the aim being to suit the customer’s needs. Standalone, floating, time-based, project-based licenses are some examples.

Of course. We will support you in your free evaluation.

No, we don’t offer any testing tools. Our solutions do not focus on testing as such, even though there are some testing-relevant use cases, such as determining which parts of the program was impacted by a code change and needs re-testing. If you have a specific requirement in this field, please contact us.

Our software uses open formats like XML or JSON for data exchange and together with the command line interface of our tools, integration into existing workflows is usually fairly straightforward.

A wide variety is already supported: ARM, AURIX™, RISC-V, PowerPC. Also accelerators like DSPs, vector-processors and GPUs. Other platforms can be added upon request.

Our tools are tested on Windows and Linux. For the embedded systems, we don’t have any special requirements and are not aware of any noteworthy limitations.

We are a member of the AUTOSAR consortium and can use the information from the ARXML descriptions for various purposes like identification of entry points for performance estimation. Project-specific adjustments may be required.

Yes, we have successfully analysed projects with several million lines of source code.

At the centre of our solutions is our static C source code analysis. To support C++, we offer our emmtrix C++ to C Compiler that produces functionally equivalent C code from the C++ input code.

At this point in time mostly automotive and avionic, but our solutions are not domain-specific.

Our solutions have been developed with functional safety in mind:

• Deterministic behavior
• Correct-by-design approach for optimization
• Checker tool for functional equivalence
• Qualification Kit in preparation

For deterministic architectures (e.g. Infineon AURIX™) some 95% accuracy compared to hardware measurements can be achieved.

The speed-up depends on your target (number of processing units, communication cost), your application (dependencies, amount of calculation) and how well these two are matched. The emmtrix solution provides a number of automated transformation to increase and exploit parallel potential, thus achieving good to very good results.
