GUIDE
GPU Acceleration or Unmanageable Compliance Risk?
The Leader’s Wake-Up Call to Functional Safety
This is your playbook for speed AND safety through a proper compliance verification infrastructure.
You're betting millions on GPU acceleration. But 40% of your Functional Safety system's code is ungovernable.
Your organization is building the future: AI-driven MedTech products, Autonomous Vehicles, and Industrial Robots – all with strict strict quality and safety requirements. The GPU investment was massive. The promise was to deliver your organization the unique and unmatched performance to power breakthrough software products with AI capabilities.
The reality hits hard when your Functional Safety verification infrastructure can't see GPU code. Your best engineers burn almost half of their time manually tracing and verifying CUDA kernels. You're forced to choose between shipping fast or shipping safe, when the whole point was to have both.
This broken status quo is on the verge of becoming a crisis. Here's the 'why', and how to solve it.
Who This Strategic Playbook Is For:
If your best engineers are drowning in manual verification, if compliance has become your bottleneck, if you're one GPU bug away from disaster; this guide is your roadmap out.
It's for:
- CTOs and VPs of Engineering who understand one bug in a safety-critical system has consequences
– Technical Leaders who understand that reputation and legal exposure depend on system safety
– Engineering Executives who've done the initial math on liability vs. prevention
– Decision Makers who know "we couldn't verify all Safety-Critical code" is not enough
This guide is for leaders who refuse to accept that shipping fast means accepting existential liability.
This is for those who want to break free from keeping development teams just 'coping'.
What You Will Master After Reading:
Confront the Reality:
Why 40% of your safety-critical code operates in a verification void, what this means for your liability, and why manual processes will never scale to GPU complexity.
Build the Missing Infrastructure:
The clearly phased transformation from verification uncertainty to systematic control and governance.
The ROI That Writes Itself – and That Your CFO Will Love:
Real numbers on reduction in manual effort, faster audits, and development productivity gains. Plus: how to turn compliance from quarterly panic to competitive advantage.
