SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 13, 2013) - Green
Hills Software, the worldwide leader in high assurance operating
systems, announced Northrop Grumman's selection of the INTEGRITY®-178B tuMP multicore operating system
for use in their Gen II Mission Computer for the U.S. Marine Corps
UH-1Y and AH-1Z helicopter upgrades. The Northrop Grumman Technical
Refresh Mission Computer hosts the INTEGRITY-178B Time-Variant Unified
Multi Processing (tuMP) capabilities using a Freescale QorIQ® P4080-based single-board computer.
"The UH-1Y and AH-1Z are highly integrated combat helicopters
that require mission computers with significant yet flexible computing
capabilities, which can be updated to support specific configurations,"
said Ike Song, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Situational
Awareness Systems business unit in Woodland Hills, Calif.
The Green Hills Software tuMP multicore operating system is
the foundation for the Northrop Grumman open systems architectural
concept, providing a multicore framework for integrating applications of
different programming languages, portable operating environments, and
assurance needs. The highly capable scheduling capabilities of
INTEGRITY-178B tuMP uniquely permit Northrop Grumman to effectively
utilize the eight cores of the Freescale QorIQ P4080.
"Green Hills Software is very pleased that Northrop Grumman
has selected the INTEGRITY-178B tuMP RTOS," said Dan O'Dowd, founder and
chief executive officer of Green Hills Software. "Green Hills Software
has developed the INTEGRITY-178B tuMP multicore operating system for
customers such as Northrop Grumman who want to maximize utilization of a
multicore processor using products from a supplier with a proven
reputation for delivery of reliable safe and secure software."
Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY-178B tuMP multicore
operating system builds upon a proven twelve-year service history and
certification pedigree by incorporating multicore operating system
capabilities, including support for AMP and SMP. tuMP defines groupings
(called affinity groups) of how cores will be utilized by one or more
applications, with the grouping of cores and applications being
permitted to vary over time. Sets of affinity groups are then scheduled
independently of other sets of affinity groups, permitting time-lines
that closely correspond to application requirements, yet also permitting
other sets of affinity groups to be developed that can make use of time
windows where cores are not being utilized. Multiple schedule support
further extends the tuMP scheduling capabilities, permitting tailoring
of available applications and processor time resources based on the
vehicles' operational needs, such as flight or combat phase.
INTEGRITY-178B tuMP extends partitioning support beyond single-core
processors, ensuring this highly flexible capability can continue to be
effectively used to host multiple applications while preserving
resources for application growth without concern about future
availability of new single-core processor designs.
