WANTED: Developers Looking for Worst-Case Execution Time of their C++ avionics software

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 1, 2010 - Rapita Systems announces that it is launching a beta program for RapiTime’s support of C++. Developers of avionic software written in C++ will be able to use RapiTime’s on-target profiling capabilities to: measure execution times, track code coverage, and find worst-case execution times (WCET) for their applications. The full product release featuring C++ support will take place at the start of Q4, however early access to these capabilities is available through the beta program.

RapiTime has successfully supported a number of high profile avionic programmes using the C and Ada languages, and is now augmenting language support to include C++. “We recognize that C++ is becoming increasingly important in the avionics community” said Rapita Systems CEO, Guillem Bernat. “For that reason we are seeing strong demand for C++ support for RapiTime: a need that we are pleased to be able to meet”.

Bernat continued “We’ve decided to provide a limited number of projects with the opportunity to get early access to this new technology, via a beta program. Of course, this provides the beta users the opportunity to perform an in-depth evaluation of RapiTime without licence fees during the beta period.”
