Critical Application Monitoring using Safety Island

Automotive compute platforms hosting advanced features such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Drive (AD) stacks require increasingly complex and higher performance CPUs in order to meet the demanding workloads. In these environments, the detection of application runtime faults is one strategy used to achieve the required system reliability goals. To help reach these goals, automotive systems benefit from the addition of a Safety Island; a separate compute sub-system that provides a higher safety level compute area for system and application monitoring services. In this presentation, we will look into more details of a new project at Arm called Critical Application Monitoring (CAM).
