Avionics platforms are the backbone of various aircraft systems. Consisting of multiple connected avionics computers, they provide the required computational resources to execute any given task. In civil aviation, these safety-critical computers conventionally are based on single-core processors. Due to rising computational demands and the upcoming lack of availability of single-core processors in the future, the use of multi-core processors even in these safety-critical systems seems inevitable. This paper considers the design process of avionics platforms in the presence of multi-/many-core processors with the goal to find an optimal task allocation to a subset of avionics computers for given systems.
