Tenders Are Invited For Llvm For Space Applications - Expro Plus

Tenders are invited for LLVM for Space Applications - Expro plus The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. GNUGCC and Clang LLVM are two established compilers in the sector. GCC is the official compiler produced by the GNU Project and supports a large number of traditional programming languages and multiple architectures (e.g. ARM, SPARC, RISC-V). Similarly, to many other open-source communities, GCC is controlled by free software enthusiasts who are typically sponsored bycommercial companies. LLVM is a collection of modular, extensible and reusable compiler tools.Clang is the LLVM compiler front-end for C, and C++ programming languages. The modular architecture of LLVM allows reducing the time/cost to support a new architecture or a new programming language and makes it easier to maintain.LLVM/Clang license allows deriving commercial products from LLVM without any restrictions. The official ARM Compiler is based onLLVM.The activity is aiming at ensuring the correct support of space-qualified architectures by LLVM anddevelop and add specific LLVM modules supporting the process development of flight software.The prospective modules to develop shall improve the static analysis of code considering real-timeembedded developments, increase the observability for easing the debugging of code, implementoptimization of the binary code to specific processor architectures used in space applications, easethe integration into a Model-Based Software Engineering environment.The activity encompasses the following tasks:- Analysis and selection of the new architectures to support: new generation of processors(Leon multi-cores, RISC-V ARM multi-cores) and execution environments.- Identification and selection of the new features to be implemented as LLVM modules covering at least the support of a better static analysis, an improved observability and debugging, a generation of optimized binaries for the selected target architectures.- Identification of Use Casesexercising the new modules. Use Case based shall consider existing modules or complete flight software on which deviations (e.g. tocoding standard) and bugs are added.- Porting of LLVM on selected architectures and environments, development of the selectedmodules.- Verification and validation based on the Use Cases. Demonstration of the new features, evaluation of performances.Software shall be delivered under ESA Software Community Licence.
