Lightning Talk: Using PMR in C++ Embedded Systems for Functional Safety - Scott Dixon - CppCon 2024
---
Dynamic memory is often disallowed in high-assurance, c++ embedded systems but, when examining the reasons why, C++17 Polymorphic Memory Resources emerge as an unexpected solution to enable the use of C++ standard library constructs for such projects. My talk will explore how PMR can be used to meet functional safety requirements and to build embedded systems that are robust, performant, and testable.

Scott Dixon
I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Amazon.com with 25 years of experience, 20 of which were spent writing C++ programs. Over my 15 years at Amazon I worked on various projects such as the launch of Amazon's video streaming service (now Prime Video), various devices including the Kindle eBook reader, and now the Prime Air delivery drone (flying robots!). I'm one of the maintainers of the OpenCyphal project and the original author of the CETL C++ library. My emphasis and passion is in firmware for microcontrollers where used in software-defined cyber-physical systems (like flying robots!).

CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community. You will enjoy inspirational talks and a friendly atmosphere designed to help attendees learn from each other, meet interesting people, and generally have a stimulating experience. Taking place this year in Aurora, Colorado, near the Denver airport, and including multiple diverse tracks, the conference will appeal to anyone from C++ novices to experts.
