Gasgoo Awards 2023 applicant: SWIFT DDS from Beijing Greenstone Technology Co., Ltd

Product: SWIFT DDS 

Description

SWIFT DDS is the first high-performance DDS in China that fully independently developed based on the OMG DDS standard, and obtained ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Product Certification. OEMs and Tier 1s can construct a loose coupling and high-scalable communications software framework based on the SWIFT DDS, which significantly shorten the development cycle, reduce the difficulty of application development, as well as minimize the cost of system development, integration and reuse, to create their own competitive advantages. Greenstone also provides SWIFT DDS-RT (Real-Time) with full functions for resource-limited computing units, such as MCU, ARM M core, ARM R core.

Unique advantages

1) Economical, safe and efficient: OEMs and Tier 1s can establish a loosely-coupled, highly-scalable communication software framework, allowing them to concentrate on developing upper-layer core algorithms and business logic in order to gain competitive advantages. 2) Fully independent & controllable technology: The architecture and source code are developed without utilizing any open-source modules or third-party libraries, ensuring secure intra-/inter-domain communications and real-time, reliable data transmissions in various V2X scenarios such as vehicle-to-cloud and vehicle-to-vehicle. 3) Efficient customized service: Abundant extended modules, including cross-domain communications, security management. Fast respond in light to the needs of actual communications scenarios. Deep configuration services and technical support.

Application

1. Different sensors generate massive multi-source heterogeneous data. After calculation, processing, and fusion in the domain controller, the data interacts in real time between processes and chips, and is transmitted between vehicles and vehicles, between vehicles and the cloud, between vehicles and roads, and in other complex scenarios of V2X.  2. Realizes intra/inter-domain communication among multi-nodes, facilitating the transition to new generation of E/E architecture.  3. Efficient customized service: Abundant extended modules, including cross-domain communications, security management. Fast respond in light to the needs of actual communications scenarios. Deep configuration services and technical support.   4. Vehicle OTA: Provide various security guarantees such as identity authentication, data encryption, and sensitive information protection to ensure that data and information will not be lost, tampered with, or stolen.

Prospect

1. Software-Defined Vehicles need middleware to support: the realization of SOA architecture requires intelligent vehicles to realize rapid software integration and iteration, which requires building a scalable and reusable software architecture based on communication middleware to help OEMs shorten the upper layer application development and cost reduction, thereby accelerating the mass production of intelligent vehicles. The connection and integration between functional domains, as well as multi-node communication between domains and within domains, all need to be connected by high-performance communication middleware. This means that with the development and mass production of smart cars, the demand for high-performance communication middleware by OEMs and Tier 1 will continue to increase.  2. The market scale continues to expand: With the rapid development of intelligent vehicles and " Software-Defined Vehicles" becoming an industry trend, the importance of automotive software will be greatly enhanced, and software will become the key to the success of OEMs in the automotive market. According to McKinsey's forecast, the global automotive software development market will reach USD 37 billion in 2025, and USD 50 billion in 2030. The value of automotive software IP authorization has continued to increase from 2-3 thousand RMB to over 10,000 RMB. The basic software (middleware) part, as the core component of intelligent vehicles software, will play a key role in "decoupling software and hardware", realizing SOA development framework, and promoting the upgrading of EEA. By 2030, the market size of system-level basic software will reach about USD 8 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 11%. (McKinsey, Automotive software and electronics 2030, 2023)
