It provides continuous GPU/CPU code analysis measured against Nvidia guidelines and industry standards and generates the documentation needed by Halos for sign-off. It also enables the early detection of problematic issues to reduce both redesigns to accelerate time to market and also cuts the potential for recall which can be damaging both financially and reputationally, said Qt Group.
The Finnish company is the latest partner to Nvidia’s Inspection Lab, which is ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB)-accredited and integrates functional safety, cybersecurity, AI, and regulations into a unified safety framework.
The Axivion tool checks that GPU software meets safety standards and is believed to be the only tool that handles CUDA C++ extensions specifically.
Halos is a full-stack comprehensive safety system for physical AI and comprises hardware and software elements, tools, models, and design principles for AI-based, end-to-end AV and robotic stacks. It automatically provides safety review documentation for manufacturers and regulators to review and continuously checks GPU and CPU software against Nvidia guidelines and industry safety standards from the start of development. In this way, said Qt Group, issues like dead code, unsafe dependencies, or compliance gaps are caught early, when they are cheaper to fix.
There is no need for developers to manually validate GPU code against safety rules.
