Research & Development

Through continuous research and development, we innovate solutions that advance technology across diverse industries and sectors. POWERTRACE is conducting, together with partner universities, research focused on real time systems that could contribute to a safer tomorrow.

BPRA Processor Architecture

POWERTRACE supports the design and development of the BPRA processor architecture which provides outstanding task switching capabilities due to its special hardware design with built in hardware scheduler and banked pipeline registers.

Low Jitter

Hardware Scheduler

Deterministic

Low RTOS Overhead

BPRA (Banked Pipeline Register Architecture) brings a set of unique features in the hands of embedded systems designers:
  • Uses a built in hardware scheduler that totally eliminates the need of a conventional software OS.
  • Extremely fast scheduling sequence and task context switch, both performed in only 1 clock cycle.
  • Very low jitter (2-3 clock cycles) due to the hardware implementation of the scheduler.
  • Task context isolation that eliminates the possibility of data corruption.
  • Highly deterministic.
  • Highly valued for time critical applications.
  • 32 bit RISC pipelined Harvard architecture.

Certifications

ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is an international standard that establishes requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS). It is used to ensure that organizations can consistently provide quality products and services, improving their efficiency and customer satisfaction. The standard focuses on a process-based approach, continuous improvement, and the involvement of top management.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It helps organizations manage risks related to sensitive information, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Implementing this standard allows for the protection of informational assets against threats and vulnerabilities through specific controls and measures.
TISAX
TISAX is a specific standard for the automotive industry in Europe, intended for the evaluation and exchange of information related to information security between companies in this sector. Developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), TISAX ensures compliance with strict requirements regarding data protection and information security in the automotive supply chain. This standard is used to evaluate and certify suppliers based on security risks related to confidentiality and data protection.
