Engineers at BMW are using Percepio’s Tracealyzer software to monitor and optimize software performance in the IP-Basis Integration Platform for body and comfort systems during vehicle development. Tracealyzer is said to have provided essential insight into software runtime performance, helping BMW‘s engineers to monitor execution behavior during development and testing in SDVs.
According to Percepio, the tool’s scalability and modularity were key enablers for BMW engineers. Tracealyzer also enabled custom KPI monitors and allowed BMW’s existing data acquisition infrastructure to be seamlessly integrated into the environment.
Percepio says that ensuring runtime reliability and performance is crucial as vehicles rely more and more on real-time, embedded software. Its Tracealyzer platform addresses these needs with visual trace diagnostics tools.
“This is a significant validation of our technology,” said Andreas Lifvendahl, CEO of Percepio. “Modern automotive systems are among the most complex and demanding embedded environments, and BMW Group’s use of Tracealyzer highlights the value of continuous observability in mission-critical applications.”
