Krono-Safe, automated development of real-time embedded applications

Published on 15 December 2022
Faster, cheaper development of safe-by-construction real-time applications

Krono-Safe’s Asterios software automates the development of real-time applications, guarantees their safety, and helps keep projects on schedule. Customers include Safran, which chose Asterios as its companywide solution, as well as Alstom, Aptiv, and Schneider Electric.

The Krono-Safe Asterios software suite is the result of fifteen years of R&D at the CEA in operating safety in the nuclear and automotive industries. Protected by six patents, the software automates the spatio-temporal integration of real-time embedded applications. Advantages for users include shorter design cycles, sustained high performance, reliable and reproducible application behavior, and more.

Operating safety and adherence to a given application’s time constraints are guaranteed by construction. Users also benefit from a simulation environment and 30% to 40% faster integration into hardware platforms.

The time savings are even more significant when porting existing applications to multi-core processors—down to just a few weeks from a year with conventional tools. These advantages have attracted many customers, including Safran, which has made Asterios its companywide solution for real-time embedded systems.
