The MathWorks Acquires PolySpace Technologies, Leading Developer of Embedded System Code Verification Tools
The MathWorks announced that it has acquired PolySpace Technologies, a software company based in Grenoble, France that provides embedded software tools for the automatic detection of run-time errors at compile time.
"For companies building high-reliability and safety-critical embedded systems, high-quality, bug-free software is essential," said Jack Little, chief executive officer of The MathWorks. "PolySpace tools detect the types of run-time errors that are responsible for 30 to 40 percent of all software errors. This acquisition enables a tighter coupling of the PolySpace automatic verification tools to Simulink®, aimed at reducing the verification bottlenecks in embedded system development workflows. We're also fully committed to error detection in hand-written code, supporting embedded system developers who are not users of the MATLAB® and Simulink products."
PolySpace tools are currently used worldwide in aerospace, automotive, defense, transportation, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and medical devices.PolySpace products include PolySpace for Hand-Written Code, PolySpace for Model-Based Design, and PolySpace for UML.
