Green Hills Software speaker presentations include:

Topic: Writing Reliable Multicore Code
When: Tuesday, April 1, 2014, 10:45 am- 11:45 am
Where: San Jose Convention Center; Room: 210B
Who: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Green Hills Software

Synopsis: Compile-time checking in C/C++ can catch many sources of errors, but there are numerous errors that may cause run-time failures. The multicore environment, with concurrent processors adds another dimension to the development challenge, creating many more ways for code to fail. Many of these failures are unlikely to show up during product testing, and will only show up later as costly product glitches. This class describes the top sources of run time errors in multicore systems and how to avoid them in order to write reliable code.

Topic: Guidelines for Writing Efficient C/C++ Code
When: Wednesday, April 2, 2014, 10:45 am- 11:45 am
Where: San Jose Convention Center; Room: 210B
Who: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Green Hills Software

Synopsis: With ineffective programming, even a perfect compiler cannot generate efficient code. This talk will focus on the hows and whys of programming with today’s modern compilers and how to get good performance out of them. Examples will be given to illustrate how simple source code transformations can result in big savings regardless of the compiler used. The talk will cover choice of data types, variable scopes, the restrict keyword, floating-point arithmetic, assembly statements, packing, loop optimizations, and volatile memory.

Topic: Keep it Separate: Safety/Security Design in Real-Time Operating Systems
When: Thursday, April 3, 2014, 2:15 pm- 3:15 pm
Where: San Jose Convention Center; Room: 210C
Who: Thomas Cantrell, Technical Marketing Engineer, Green Hills Software

Synopsis:
Real-time operating systems by definition offer predictable scheduling behavior, but for a safety/security-critical system more is required. One other core function of the operating system must be to separate various elements of the system securely from each other. This course starts by looking at examples of mixed-criticality embedded systems, explores the safety and security interactions of the components in these systems, and then examines the ways real-time operating systems can secure the interactions.

In booth #1308, Green Hills Software will offer a wide range of interesting presentations and demonstrations, including:

Main Stage Presentation

Securing the Internet of Things

Much of the technological innovation in IoT is centered on the protocols, standards, and applications needed to enable new capabilities. Security, however, is largely an afterthought. This talk will discuss the security and privacy challenges introduced by IoT and how developers in the IoT world can use security to gain competitive advantage in their designs and their businesses.

Kiosk Demonstrations

Safe and Secure Embedded Virtualization

Green Hills Software’s securely virtualized Android-based platform features INTEGRITY Multivisor™, an SMP-enabled microkernel-based hypervisor that takes advantage of the ARM Virtualization Extensions (ARM-VE) on the Texas Instruments Jacinto™ 6 and OMAP™ 5 processor. The automotive-centric demonstration consists of Android running on INTEGRITY Multivisor delivering in-vehicle infotainment services (IVI) to one screen while an Altia™ DeepScreen-based digital instrument cluster is running at the same time as a native INTEGRITY® application and displayed on a second screen.

INTEGRITY Trusted Mobile device

INTEGRITY Multivisor hypervisor is now available as a certified security option in the Samsung KNOX™ mobile enterprise family. Targeting government and regulated enterprise certified security requirements, the new solution offers an industry-first in ultra-security. Samsung KNOX Hypervisor enables multiple, strongly isolated instances of Android as well as additional security-critical functions that run directly on INTEGRITY Multivisor to meet the most demanding industry requirements for certification and accreditation.

Advanced Embedded Graphics

Green Hills Software will demonstrate pre-integrated OpenGL ES 2.0-enabled graphical solutions from partners including Crank Software Storyboard, DiSTI GL Studio, Elektrobit Guide, and Rightware Kanzi – all running on the INTEGRITY RTOS and a Freescale i.MX6 quad-core SoC. The combination of a high performance OpenGL stack with the safe, secure and real-time INTEGRITY separation kernel allows creation of robust devices with advanced graphical user interfaces.

Embedded development for 64-bit ARMv8 processors

Green Hills Software has announced an industry-first embedded software development solution built on its INTEGRITY real-time operating system (RTOS) and comprehensive MULTI® IDE for the ARM Cortex-A50 processor series (Cortex A53/A57). With this support, engineering teams get a risk-reducing early start on their next-generation high-performance/low-power product designs in automotive, mobile devices, networking infrastructure, industrial, Mil/Aero and the Internet of Things (IoT).
