SCADE is an environment for developing critical embedded software that is used for more than twenty years in various application domains like avionics, nuclear plants, transportation, automotive. It comes with a language and a code generator which complies with the highest safety standards like DO-178C, IEC 61508, EN 50128, IEC 60880 and ISO 26262. The language has been founded on the pioneering work by Caspi and Halbwachs on Lustre. In 2008, a major revision of the language and compiler, named 'Scade 6', was released. One of its novelty was a smooth integration of the traditional data-flow style of Lustre with control-structures inspired from those of Esterel and SyncCharts, with static/dynamic semantics and a compilation inspired from Lucid Synchrone. In particular, it relies on four dedicated type systems-typing, clock calculus, causality analysis, initialization analysis-and a compilation through source-to-source transformations into a minimal clocked data-flow language, based on a Kahn semantics, that is translated to imperative code. One ongoing work is the generation of code for multi-core architectures. Because of the intrinsic deterministic parallelism of Scade, we propose a solution that relies on annotations that specify what must be executed concurrently but do not change the semantics. The paper is a survey of past to ongoing work on Scade 6 language definition and implementation.
