What Accemic Technologies does

Accemic Technologies GmbH is a German deep-tech company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Kiefersfelden (Munich Metropolitan Region) that develops CEDARtools, a patented dynamic analysis platform for non-intrusive, continuous observation of embedded systems. The technology analyzes trace-data streams from modern processors in real time over arbitrary time frames, addressing the limitations of traditional offline trace analysis constrained by buffer size and result latency. The platform is composed of CEDARtools.SmartTrace for Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis, CEDARtools.Coverage for test prioritization, and CEDARtools.Coverage for Integration Evidence, and is supported by FPGA-based monitoring hardware built on Xilinx Virtex-7 and Zynq Ultrascale+ devices. A separate product line, C-Trace, is an open-source RISC-V trace encoder IP developed within the European TRISTAN project and planned for release in mid-2026.

The company sells to safety-critical embedded systems developers in avionics, automotive, and industrial automation, targeting OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers through direct enterprise field sales, industry conference demonstrations, and channel partnerships including the Embedded4You competence network. Revenue is generated from software licensing (recurring subscriptions), FPGA-based hardware products, and professional services including implementation and consulting support. A joint product bundle with AbsInt (CEDARtools & TimeWeaver) addresses EASA AMC-20-193 multi-core processor certification objectives, and integration with Teamscale enables test prioritization based on changed code paths.

Accemic operates a 13-person team across its Kiefersfelden headquarters and a Dresden engineering office opened in 2018. The company has participated in multiple European research consortia — COEMS (Horizon 2020) with Airbus and Thales, ARAMiS II, and CoCoSI (BMBF) with Fraunhofer IESE, Intel, and HEICON — and holds full membership in EUROCAE, contributing to aviation standards development. The firm appears bootstrapped, with non-dilutive public funding from European research grants and startup competitions (WECONOMY 2018 winner; BayStartUP Business Plan Competition Munich 2021 finalist), and operates without disclosed institutional venture capital backing.

Core offering

Accemic Technologies develops and sells CEDARtools, a patented dynamic analysis platform that performs real-time, non-intrusive processing of embedded processor trace data to support software testing, debugging, WCET analysis, and structural code coverage measurement. The platform is sold to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in safety-critical industries such as avionics, automotive, and industrial automation, where it supports certification under DO-178C and ISO 26262. Complementary offerings include the C-Trace open-source RISC-V trace encoder IP and a joint bundle with AbsInt's TimeWeaver for multi-core EASA AMC-20-193 compliance.

Product overview

Accemic Technologies offers CEDARtools, a patented dynamic analysis platform for embedded systems, comprising multiple specialized modules. CEDARtools.SmartTrace handles WCET (Worst-Case Execution Time) analysis for timing validation. CEDARtools.Coverage includes two modules: one for test prioritization enabling faster development feedback through changed-code-path detection, and another for integration evidence supporting certification of safety-critical systems. The platform analyzes processor trace data in real time from virtually all modern processors, supporting multi-core architectures. Accemic also developed C-Trace, an open-source RISC-V trace encoder IP within the European TRISTAN project. A joint solution with AbsInt (TimeWeaver) addresses multi-core certification needs for EASA compliance.
