Accemic Technologies GmbH

Accemic Technologies, a German company with offices in Kiefersfelden (Munich Metropolitan Region) and Dresden (one of the most beautiful cities in the world), has developed CEDARtools® – a patented breakthrough technology for the dynamic analysis of dependable embedded systems. We make software tests for embedded systems more effective and efficient. We simplify the debugging process and provide the necessary leverage to pin down the root causes of sporadic, non-deterministic anomalies. Our new analysis method leverages the trace capabilities embedded into virtually all modern processors. Their trace units expose the details of the operation of the CPU and its peripherals to the outside. However, they easily produce a few GBit of trace data per second. This quickly renders approaches combining storage and offline analysis as infeasible options. The live analysis of the execution trace at run time is a quantum leap enhancement over the offline analysis of recorded trace data as it effectively eliminates the bottlenecks imposed by the need for the intermediate buffering. CEDARtools® enables (a) the measurement of the control flow coverage during the execution of integration tests and system tests, as well as (b) the dynamic constraints monitoring. We provide development and test engineers with the powerful tool that boosts their productivity by enabling them to monitor a system over large time frames and to pin down even sporadic errors quickly.
