DDC-I Booth # 319

Phoenix, AZ – August 20, 2025. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will demonstrate the integration of Klepsydra’s artificial intelligence and edge processing capabilities with    DDC-I’s Deos™ safety-critical DO-178C real-time operating system at the Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) Industry and Government Summit & Expo. The show will be held August 27-29 at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD.

This year’s MOSA Industry and Government Summit & Expo, co-located with the Space Industry & Government Summit & Expo, will feature key leadership keynotes from the Department of Defense and Tri-Service, as well as panel discussions and presentations from experts in open architecture, open standards, and MOSA. With over 100 exhibitor booths showcasing live demonstrations, the three-day event offers a unique opportunity to connect with government offices and industry decision-makers implementing MOSA initiatives and gain insight into how the DoD is integrating MOSA into Major Defense Acquisition Programs.

“Deos™ utilizes the latest DO-178C Design Assurance Level A (DAL A), FACE® conformant, multi-core verified baseline, and was built from the ground up with a modular architecture and standard interfaces that emphasize portability, scalability and reuse,” said Gary Gilliland, Vice President of Marketing at DDC-I. “We look forward to sharing our world class, safety-critical MOSA technology at the MOSA Virtual Summit and discussing ways to leverage MOSA to enhance US warfighting capability.”

DDC-I will provide two demos at the show. The first, utilizing the Klepsydra AI engine and Deos RTOS running on an NXP i.MX8 QuadMax platform, shows how AI networks can be used to analyze image streams from a single 2-D camera and provide depth/distance information as well as obstacle detection.

Klepsydra AI is a cutting-edge software framework for edge AI applications. Delivering high-efficiency AI inference, Klepsydra AI employs a lightweight, safety-certified, cybersecurity-protected AI software stack that is compliant with ECSS software standards and compatible with standard AI frameworks such as PyTorch and SensorFlow. Klepsydra’s acceleration technology combines two-dimensional parallelization with lock-free programming to deliver a flexible and efficient inference engine, achieving up to four times lower latency, ten times higher throughput, and 50% reduced power consumption than competitive solutions. Klepsydra AI running atop the Deos RTOS provides secure, high-performance AI inference and edge processing for safety-critical ground vehicles, avionics and space systems on a MOSA platform.

The second demo features a Deos-hosted avionics display, which runs on an NXP i.MX8qm processor with an integrated Vivante GC7000 GPU. The demo focuses on creating graphical instruments as well as grouping data from various systems on one display. It was created using the Ansys SCADE Display design and development environment.

Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that employs patented cache partitioning, memory pools, and safe scheduling to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS on multi-core processors. First certified to DO-178 DAL A in 1998, Deos provides FACE® Conformant OSS Safety Base and Safety Extended Profiles that feature hard real-time response, time, and space partitioning, with support for Rate Monotonic, 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 multi-core performance without compromising safety-critical task response and guaranteed execution time. SafeMC employs a bounded multiprocessing (BMP) extension of the symmetric multiprocessing architecture (SMP), safe scheduling, and cache partitioning to minimize cross-core contention and interference patterns that affect the performance, safety criticality and certifiability of multi-core systems. These features enable avionics developers to address issues specified by AC/AMC 20-193 multi-core objectives that could impact the safety, performance, and integrity of a software airborne system.
