CISTER-led European Project meets at HiPEAC 2016

P-SOCRATES (Parallel SOftware framework for time-CRitical mAny-core sysTEmS), is an European project led by CISTER aiming to develop new techniques for exploiting the massively parallel computation capabilities of next-generation many-core embedded platforms in a predictable way.

During the last conference of the European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (HiPEAC 2016) the P-SOCRATES consortium organized a technical meeting and a public workshop.

The workshop (4th Workshop on High-performance and Real-time Embedded Systems - HiRES 2016) co-located with the 2nd DreamCloud (Dynamic Resource Allocation and Management in Embedded, High Performance and Cloud Computing) workshop, included presentations of ongoing work and preliminary results, as well as invited talks from Prof. Akash Kumar (TU Dresden, Germany) and Dr. Gerard Rauwerda (co-founder and CTO of Recore Systems, the Netherlands).

The P-SOCRATES technical meeting had the dual purpose of preparing the work for a successful 3rd milestone of the project, as well as to prepare the forthcoming meeting with the project Advisory Board, which includes representatives from leading European companies, such as Airbus Defense and Space (France), Airbus Innovation Group (Germany), Bosch (Germany), Expert Systems (Italy), Honeywell (Czech Republic), MBDA (Italy), Saab (Sweden), Kalray (France) and Rapita Systems (UK).
