BlackBerry QNX releases compute ready operating system
Summary
Providing a step-change in performance while maintaining its competitive differentiator as an inherently safe and secure, POSIX compliant, real-time microkernel-based OS, the new architecture has shown an impressive 1-to-1 performance scaling factor as the number of cores increase, unprecedented for a commercial real time operating system. With the next generation QNX OS, customers can now fully realise the performance of next generation processors and reduce their overall costs by maximising utilisation of the available compute resources, a boon for the likes of automakers whose shift towards Software-Defined Vehicles has brought an exponential amount of software-based architecture complexity. “The automotive industry is redefining software in the vehicle,” said John Wall, Senior Vice President and Head of BlackBerry QNX. “The combination of our DRIVE Thor centralised computer and the new QNX OS will serve as a powerful foundation on which OEMs can build next-generation automotive systems that offer the highest levels of safety and security,” said Ali Kani, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA. “This represents another major milestone in a nearly 20-year collaboration with BlackBerry QNX that has helped both companies move to the forefront of the automotive industry.” "With more than 300 million vehicles capable of over-the-air software updates expected to be on the road globally by 2032, automakers are clamouring for better tools to help them develop compelling technology features in the software-defined vehicle," said Alex Oyler, a director at SBD Automotive, a global automotive technology research and consulting firm.
