Scottsdale, AZ. January 25, 2019. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will join with North Atlantic Industries and CoreAVI in co-sponsoring the January 29 FACE Consortium F2F meeting. The meeting, which drives the latest FACE standardization efforts, will be held from January 29-31 at the Scottsdale Plaza Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ.
“DDC-I has been a pioneer in providing mission- and safety-critical software to the military and aerospace industry for over 35 years and continues to provide that leadership in helping drive FACE standardization efforts and offer FACE-aligned RTOS solutions and integrated systems,” said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing and product management at DDC-I. “Like FACE, our safety-critical DO-178 RTOS solutions have been crafted from the ground up for reuse and binary portability, from the microkernel architecture to industry standard software interfaces.”
DDC-I will share keynote duties with fellow co-sponsors NAI and CoreAVI, focusing on FACE requirements and implementation for safety-critical real-time operating systems. DDC-I will also join its fellow co-sponsors in providing a live demonstration of an integrated FACE-aligned safety-critical system running high-end graphics. Utilizing NAI’s Custom-on-Standard-Architecture™ (COSA®), the integrated system will feature DDC-I’s DO-178 Deos real-time operating system running CoreAVI’s safety-critical OpenGL SC-based graphic drivers and ENSCO IData embedded display software.
Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that employs patented slack scheduling, memory pools, and cache partitioning to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS. First certified to DO-178 DAL A in 1998, Deos provides a FACE Safety Base Profile that features hard real-time response, time and space partitioning, and both ARINC-653 and POSIX interfaces. SafeMC™ technology extends Deos’ advanced capabilities to multiple cores, enabling developers of safety-critical systems to achieve best in class multicore performance without compromising safety-critical task response and guaranteed execution time.
