Safety Critical Graphics

Built on industry-recognized open standards and flexible modular architectures, Lynx’s graphics solutions add certainty to your safety-critical edge computing project. As a leader in safety-critical systems, Lynx products are certifiable to the most stringent criticality levels and support a variety of graphics processors (GPUs) and system-on-chip (SoC) ICs with GPU cores.

• Optimized for high performance in resource-constrained edge devices.
• Designed for compliance with safety certifications like DO-178C (up to DAL A), ISO 26262 (up to ASIL D), with available certification evidence.
• Built on open standard graphics APIs managed by the Khronos Group, ensuring interoperability across hardware platforms.
• Modular architecture built on open standards supports GPUs and adding 'guest OS' RTOSes.

Lynx offers safety certification-ready solutions that enable high-reliability edge devices to meet performance, reliability, and compliance requirements. 

CoreSuite 2.0 is a suite of graphics libraries based on open standard APIs managed by the Khronos group and supported directly in silicon by most graphics processors. CoreSuite 2.0 enables hardware accelerated graphics, video, and GPU Compute processing, and includes profiling and monitoring tools for enhanced reliability. Available CoreSuite 2.0 software components include

• ComputeCore™: GPU Compute libraries that support applications with parallel processing requirements such as machine learning, neural networks, and artificial intelligence. 
• VkCoreSC®: Certification-ready graphics libraries built on Vulkan SC API for safety-critical applications. 
• TrueCore™: GPU safety monitor providing real-time verification of graphics and compute pipelines to ensure reliability. 
• ProfileCore: Performance profiling tools to optimize application execution and validate Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET). 
• EncodeCore® / DecodeCore®: Video encoding and decoding tools with low latency, synchronized to the graphics pipeline. 

We also provide a COTS-D XMC Module, which is A DO-254 certification-ready GPU processor design that enables secure domestic manufacturing and simplified certification.
