KEYNOTE: HCP Challenge on Dev/Int/Test: How to cope with increasing compute power in Development/Integration/Test

Details

The integration of E/E architectures into fewer but significantly more powerful HPC ECUs is a trend we see across the automotive industry. The advantages that come with this integration are manifold. However, this change affects the way we develop, integrate and test at the same time. We discuss the challenges that come with this changed architecture during development, integration, and test especially with respect to Virtual Prototyping and its deployment throughout the development process. An outlook is given on required advances in methodology, tools, and their supply chain.
