Green Hills Software Presentations

Topic: Understanding Shared Memory in C/C++11
Speaker: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers, Green Hills Software
Location: 102B
Time: Wednesday, November 8, 8:00am – 12:00pm
Synopsis:
For many years, threading was a subject that was ignored by the standards, but starting in 2011, the new editions of C and C++ described a portable thread model. The biggest addition was not with threading itself, but with the details of shared memory. Different architectures handle shared memory very differently, so an old approach that worked fine on the Intel Architecture may fall flat on ARMv8 or QorIQ.

Fortunately, the new standards added a portable programming API for doing shared memory and inter-thread synchronization that works regardless of the underlying operating system. Learn how to use the new standards to write portable, efficient, and reliable algorithms using shared memory.

Topic: Securing the Internet of Things
Speaker: Chuck Brokish, Director of Automotive Business Development, Green Hills Software
Location: 101E
Time: Wednesday, November 8, 2:00 – 2:45 pm
Synopsis:
In recent years, cybersecurity has become a top priority for IoT device manufacturers after several well-publicized attacks on financial and infrastructure systems hit the news. These events stirred up public and government concern over both security and safety of connected embedded systems. In this talk we will:
- Review major recent milestones and headlines related to cybersecurity.
- Compare and contrast security techniques used in traditional IT infrastructure versus embedded computing systems.
- Examine where traditional techniques fall short for internet-connected applications.
- Present methods that can help secure IoT devices.

Topic: Advanced Compiler Optimizations
Speaker: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers, Green Hills Software
Location: 102A
Time: Thursday, November 9, 2:00pm – 2:45pm
Synopsis:
Understanding the compilation process is crucial to generating the tightest code from your source code. Compiler technology has not yet run it course, and new cutting-edge optimizations have made enormous execution and code size savings. This talk will survey some of my favorite optimizations: some are old, but highly effective, while others are virtually unknown outside of the tight-knit community of compiler developers. All of them are, in my opinion, quite fascinating.

Green Hills Software Demonstration in Booth #310

• High Performance Safety-Critical Digital Instrument Clusters
  This demonstration includes a wide variety of solutions for safety-critical reconfigurable instrument clusters on the latest automotive-grade processors and integrated with industry-leading graphics partners.
• Securing the Internet of Things
  In collaboration with partners Qt and Clarinox, this demonstration showcases Bluetooth real-time sensor integration from Clarinox running on a Texas Instruments SensorTag device through a Qt-based human machine interface (HMI). The separation architecture of the Green Hills INTEGRITY® RTOS assures freedom-from-interference.
