Job description

The control system of modern cars and trucks consists of a network of many small electronic control units (ECU). This network is limited in its ability to scale for more complex features like self-driving or platooning.

This task includes:

Research the differences between a real-time ECU and a (Linux-based) HPC; Selection of a programming language and middleware solution; Implementation of a demo application that interacts with other devices in the truck.
Possible extensions: Automated testing of the demo application in simulation and in hardware; Demonstrate debugging capabilities of the hardware and middleware platform; Investigate performance limitations of the HPC platform; Investigate the flexibility of the HPC platform using for example an hypervisor or containers.
