Abstract:

This article is a summary of the main results of the RECOMP project in certification and qualification topics. Work package 4 in RECOMP has made contributions in amendments in safety standards, including multicore specific hardware and software requirements and addressed the need for additional methods and techniques. Cost-effective certification has also been a main topic in WP4 work.

Current safety standards provide a well defined reference in most generic and domain-specific safety issues. However, they are not complete and accurate enough in certifying multicore platforms and applications. By definition, standards are somewhat behind of leading edge already at the moment when they are published. Multicore specific methods, techniques and tools are mainly additional details as certification criteria, missing in current safety standards.
