Next-generation simulation slingshots advanced safety
features closer to reality with multi-node and multi-client
support
BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AImotive, a
global leader in automated driving (AD) technology, today announced
aiSim 3.0, the next generation of the world's first
ISO26262-certified simulator for the development and validation of
ADAS and AD systems. aiSim 3.0 brings multi-node and multi-client
capability together with physics-based sensor simulation enabling
high and measurable correlations between virtual and real-world
testing from large-scale software-in-the-loop testing to real-time
environments.
Multi-client support allows several ego vehicles or multi-ECU
control systems to be placed in the same virtual environment to
test interactions between numerous automated vehicles or system
components. The multi-node feature enables the distribution of
sensor simulation to multiple computers to simulate physics-based
models efficiently, even for the most complex sensor setups during
real-time, hardware-in-the-loop testing.
The aiSim 3.0 sensor simulation framework builds on the Khronos
Group's Vulkan API to improve multi-GPU raytracing performance.
Vulkan creates a transparent pipeline for the physically-based
simulation of various sensor modalities (cameras, radars, LiDARs)
and efficiently shares tasks between available GPU resources. Since
Vulkan is an open standard, aiSim runs from the cheapest notebook
to the largest cloud cluster on all compatible systems, regardless
of the manufacturer.
Test automation and manual test execution for forensics analysis
are equally important during virtual validation. The recent release
of aiSim provides an intuitive user experience, enhancing the
usability of existing features, such as creating scenarios, sensor
setups, changing the weather and environment, and analyzing results
from a single unified interface. Its flexible architecture and open
APIs ease its integration into continuous development – continuous
integration pipelines providing native support for both on-site or
in-cloud deployments.
"Virtual validation is the key for the mass deployment of AD
features. After aiSim 2.0 became the world's first ISO26262, ASIL-D
certified simulator, with aiSim 3.0, we have created the next
generation to support the entire automotive development process. It
brings fidelity, automation, and efficiency to any virtual
validation and verification toolchain," – said Szabolcs Jánky,
aiSim Product Manager at AImotive.
