Company History
The company was founded as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2016. The idea for emmtrix Technologies originated in the cutting-edge research in the European FP7-Project ALMA that focused on the architecture-oriented parallelization for high-performance embedded multicore systems. The core technology of the ALMA project was taken as the basis for the tools emmtrix Parallel Studio and emmtrix Code Generator and were further developed for industrial requirements. This led to the development of safety-relevant features like a qualification kit for the parallelization to address standards like ISO 26262 or DO-330c for automotive and avionic industries.
In the next years, a workflow around the parallelization in emmtrix Parallel Studio was established that supported input languages like C, MATLAB® and Simulink as well as open alternatives like Scilab and GNU Octave and extended the supported platforms to also include accelerators like GPUs and FPGAs.
In 2020 began a shift to look at the compiler expertise at emmtrix as different focus areas, namely software parallelization, performance estimation, code conversion and static source code analysis.
Intensifying cooperation with first customers led to a focus on two areas: code analysis and code optimization. In 2023, emmtrix introduced emmtrix Studio as a framework with different tools for analysis (emmtrix Performance Estimator and emmtrix Dependency Analyzer) and optimization (emmtrix Parallel Studio and emmtrix Code Vectorizer).
