HPSV - Highly Parallel Software Verification of Concurrent Applications in the Automotive Industry

An increasing number of cores in embedded systems implies great challenges for industry and science ensuring software reliability. We design and develop an HPC software platform for the verification of complex reliability requirements for embedded systems. On the one hand we exploit high performance computing in the context of verification problems of the automotive industry, on the other hand, we explore the efficient use of current and future HPC architectures with new approaches. The project has four main objectives: - Highly scalable software verification and analysis of concurrency scenarios for embedded applications in the automotive industry, - development of new scaling methods for integer dominated applications relying on irregular communication patterns, - gathering experience on optimizations for manycore and exascale applications class, concurrency simulation and software verification, - transfer of the developed tools, methods and processes to generic HPC consulting services for other applications.
