Resource Usage Analysis
CPU, caches, memory controllers, interconnect, NoC, DMA, I/O, interrupts, communication channels, and shared accelerators.
Multicore Processor Assurance
Evidence-based control of multicore interference and resource risk.
DESI develops multicore assurance strategies for architectures such as the NXP LX2160A, including partitioned hypervisor and operating-system configurations.
Interference Analysis
Identify initiators, victims, shared paths, contention mechanisms, worst-case patterns, controls, and residual risk.
Timing Analysis
WCET, response time, end-to-end latency, frame timing, deadline margins, jitter, and overload behavior.
Verification Strategy
Stress testing, resource saturation, adversarial workloads, fault injection, monitoring, repeatability, and acceptance thresholds.
Partitioning & Hypervisor
Configuration, scheduling, core allocation, interrupt routing, memory isolation, device ownership, and service boundaries.
Residual Risk
Documented assumptions, operating constraints, margins, monitoring, safety nets, mitigation actions, and compliance rationale.
