SPIN-OFF: Accelerat Srl

Accelerat is a company focused on software solutions for safe, secure, and predictable cyber-physical systems.

Accelerat provides support and innovative solutions to:

  • power AI-enabled cyber-physical systems and mixed-criticality applications within modern high-performance heterogeneous platforms. A mixed-criticality application is the composition of safety-critical and non-safety-critical software/hardware components that may cooperate to accomplish the same mission. Ensuring strong isolation and proper execution environments is extremely important to prevent cyber-attacks and/or faults propagation from a non-critical to a critical component.
  • accelerate the computation of applications to meet hard timing requirements.

Accelerat has strong expertise in these fields and provides complete support for facing these challenges.

Services/products: 

The current flagship product of Accelerat is CLARE: a hypervisor-centric software stack to simplify the development of next-generation cyber-physical systems using heterogeneous computing platforms and offering a ready-to-use environment for deploying mixed-criticality applications.

 

In particular, CLARE offers:

- A significant SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) reduction by hosting multiple stand-alone components on the same platform within strongly isolated execution environments.

- Ready-to-use environments to build safe, secure, and predictable mixed-criticality applications.

- Platform abstraction and virtualization to map user’s high-level requirements to low-level platform-specific mechanisms.

- Built-in support for accelerated computing and machine learning.

 

CLARE comes with a friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for configuring the entire software stack exposing different perspectives according to the user expertise (from application-specific to system-level integration).
