CERTIFIABLE COMPUTING SOLUTIONS
The basis of modern data processing systems, machine learning and vision systems.
Today’s standalone or augmented reality applications require a secure and robust computing framework. We offer a set of algorithms and libraries, developed according to the strictest security standards, which are used to facilitate advanced software applications. The Vulkan-based compute and graphics driver provides the foundation for safety-critical GPU computing. GPU computing is the application of data-level parallelism of a modern GPU through many-core SIMD engines to solve high-volume computations. It is the basis of modern data processing, machine learning and vision systems.
Why Vulkan?
Vulkan SC is a New Generation security-critical computing and graphics API proposed by the Khronos Group. Built from the ground up for parallel processing, Vulkan is a revolutionary, highly efficient, open-standards API that provides broad, flexible, low-level GPU access to modern GPUs. It provides enhanced functionality with greater performance and flexibility. Vulkan not only reduces CPU workload, but also provides multi-threading capabilities and moves the management of some functions to the application layer, enabling greater control with less overhead to deliver performance gains. Vulkan is suitable for a wide variety of applications currently supported by OpenGL and OpenCL or CUDA® .
Air refueling
Mid-air refueling involves the transfer of fuel from one aircraft to another. This capability requires maximum precision, maintaining alignment between the boom tip and receiver receptacle while both aircraft are moving at high speeds. A false calculation has the potential to cause a disaster. The computer algorithms used to calculate the distance between refueling components, as well as the calculations required for connection, disconnection and fuel transfer, require critical security to ensure successful refueling. Airbus Defence & Space is currently using Vulkan computing capabilities in its automatic refueling program.

Industrial robots
Traditionally, the walls of factories and warehouses have served as a dam holding back the progress of autonomous technologies. Industrial robots have been securely caged in yellow steel enclosures to protect human workers from heavy, high-speed robotic arms with rudimentary safety systems that shut down the robot before a human can venture inside the cage. However, newer collaborative robots, where barriers between humans and robots have been removed, require the complexity of computer safety technologies to grow rapidly, such as safe path planning and vision systems to safely detect human proximity. Algorithms running inside industrial robots must meet critical safety standards to keep their human counterparts safe in the workplace.
Solution
The PACS Safety-Critical Application Platform is based on VkCore SC, our Vulkan compute and graphics controller, and includes all the elements needed to build safety-critical computing applications. With PACS, customers can obtain all the basic components, including IP hardware, semiconductors, graphics and compute drivers, libraries, firmware and even development hardware. Having a single source for all these pre-integrated components reduces risk, accelerates time to certification and product release, and avoids integration challenges.
