SAN JOSE, CA, Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley – April 2, 2007–Quantum3D, Inc., a leading provider of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), open-architecture, realtime visual computing solutions, and SYSGO, a global supplier of highly reliable device software, today announced that the two companies have teamed to develop FidelityVCF™—
The FidelityVCF effort combines SYSGO’s PikeOS® realtime operating system with Quantum3D’s IData® Human Machine Interface (HMI) embedded visual computing software toolkits to provide the industry’ most advanced and comprehensive solution for a broad spectrum of safety-critical commercial, military, industrial and FAA DO-178B Level-A- and ARINC-653-based avionics, vehicle electronics, medical and other advanced realtime embedded visual computing initiatives.
“There are several choices in RTOS products for safety-critical and MLS visual computing applications, but none have the technical advantages of PikeOS from our perspective,”
”Certification schedule and costs for embedded visual computing applications can be significantly reduced by using Quantum3D’s Dynamic Bytecode™ technology, which is part of IData and which eliminates the need to recreate and recertify HMI application source code from scratch each time. PikeOS is targeting exactly the same issue – but at the operating system level as opposed to the HMI level,” said Detlev Schaadt, SYSGO CTO.
About PikeOS from SYSGO
PikeOS is a powerful and efficient COTS paravirtualization realtime operating system based on a state-of-the-
About IData from Quantum3D
IData is an advanced, cross-platform, COTS realtime visual computing framework that uniquely enables developers to rapidly create and deploy model-based user interfaces and visual computing applications for embedded systems. Designed for both non-certified and DO-178B Level-A certified commercial and military embedded visual computing applications, IData is optimized for operation in both OpenGL® and OpenGL ES® embedded operating environments on a wide range of microprocessor, graphics processor and operating system platforms. With its Dynamic Bytecode generation technology, IData developers are able to rapidly and easily create optimized, executable models of sophisticated graphics, text and visual images that are directly deployable across the complete spectrum of embedded systems.
FidelityVCF at ESC SV
The FidelityVCF integrated Visual Computing Framework, along with select SYSGO and Quantum3D embedded development and deployment products and solutions, will be on display at ESC SV in the SYSGO-Quantum3D booth (no. 732) in San Jose, CA., April 2-5, 2007.
FidelityVCF Pricing and Availability
The FidelityVCF Visual Computing Framework will be sold by both companies, with Quantum3D providing sales and support for the product set in the Americas and with SYSGO providing sales and support for the product set in Europe. Initial versions of FidelityVCF, combined with a Quantum3D Intel- or PowerPC-based reference platform, will be available in the second half of 2007. Pricing for binary development environments starts at $50,000 USD. For more details or to request participation in the FidelityVCF Beta Program, please contact Quantum3D or SYSGO sales.
