Multicore

Next-gen aviation systems see push for automation, multicore processors in the certification process

As the complexity of aviation systems rises, certifying safety-critical systems in manned and unmanned aircraft has pushed engineers towards automation and working in parallel to increase the efficiency of the process. Multicore processors are playing a major role in this push, along with added tools to ease the process. However, challenges remain as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) work toward streamlining the process.
