Historic mission in search of the Origin of the Solar System

9 september 2014 door Altreonic NV

ESAWith a go-ahead in 1993, the Rosetta ESA mission was finally launched in March 2004. After a 10 years journey through our solar system, it has finally arrived and made rendez-vous with the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Comet. The first high resolution pictures are stunning. Later on a robotic lander will touchdown on the comet itself and start taking pictures from the surface, a feat never done before.

Rosetta has several other scientific instruments on-board. The main processor for processing on-board data is a SEU and radiation tolerant version of the 21020 floating point DSP, used in a parallel configuration on boards developed by EADS. The RTOS used is Virtuoso, developed by Eonic Systems whose technology was later on acquired by Wind River to disappear from the market three years later. Altreonic’s OpenComRTOS Designer is the 4th generation of Virtuoso. Redeveloped from scratch using formal techniques, OpenComRTOS offers more scalability, portability and modularity than ever before but with a code size that is about 10 times less. Work is underway for a new branch codenamed VirtuosoNext.

Accumulated experience

Just like for Rosetta, a long journey will have preceded OpenComRTOS Designer and VirtuosoNext. It started in 1991 when the first parallel RTOS for the transputer was released. Still unique, it represents accumulated years of experience in combination with a formal approach. Keeping it simple but smart has been one of the foundations of its design. It results in a unprecedented performance and ease of use specifically for (heterogeneous) parallel or distributed systems. Yet, today it also replaces more traditional POSIX-style RTOS that require 50 times more memory. Code size still matters!
The Rosetta mission is an unprecedented scientific and technical achievement. It required the cooperation of several nations and 1000’s of scientist and engineers. We are proud to have made our small contribution.

“Solutions for Trustworthy Systems Engineering”
Altreonic NV is an innovative SME focusing on the embedded market with a unified methodology for developing trustworthy solutions. Based on a long experience since the late 1980’s, custom engineering services are enabled by in-house developed tools to facilitate an integrated approach in particular for scalable and safety critical embedded software and hardware. The in-house development technology is also made available through a unique Open Technology Licensing model.

The industrial experience is enhanced by a continuous R&D effort, in-house as well as partner in regional as well as European research projects. Recent ones are:

  • OpenComRTOS: development of a novel real-time operating system using formal methods.
  • ASIL: a Flanders Drive project to develop a common automotive safety engineering workflow.
  • EVOLVE: an EU ITEA project on Evolutionary Verification and Validation of software.
  • CRAFTERS: an EU Artemis on developing novel solutions for many/multicore systems.
  • OPENCOSS: an FP7 IP project focusing on reducing the cost of certification.

Altreonic is a regular speaker at international conferences and workshops.
