The average midrange car has over a dozen microprocessors in it. High-end models have over 100. Those systems need to be ultra-reliable, re-usable, they need to be tough and robust, and they need to be cheap. How can a developer possibly meet all those goals at once? In this seminar, we look at tips...

Endurance and reliability must be examined before determining the optimal flash solution, every application requires different requirements which must be addressed at the design in stage. ATP offers three levels of endurance calculations optimizing the Total Cost of Ownership, by utilizing data usag...

Ultra-precise timekeeping that can change the outcome of missions is now mandatory for mission critical military applications. Atomic clocks in the past have offered the accuracy and precision required for these applications but could not be used due to their large form factors - which added to the...

The multicore era shifts more responsibility for performance gains onto the software developer who must direct how work is distributed amongst the cores. Obtaining performance increases requires developers make significant software modifications to transform current sequential applications into para...

Complying with safety and security certification standards and requirements in any market is an expensive, tedious, and time-consuming task, but it saves lives in the friendly skies and can be a force multiplier on the battlefield. Meeting those requirements is often more efficient through open arch...

Finding and integrating components for connected devices can be a major challenge. The Intel® Intelligent Systems Framework solves the problem by specifying an interoperable set of hardware, operating systems, and software. These validated components form a platform for connected devices that scales...

Advances in network mapping enable network management systems to capitalize on topology intelligence already available from your network and system devices, saving you effort, time, and money. Join Brian Jacobs of Ipswitch to learn five best practices to ensure that you are doing the most with the t...

The best way to architect your distributed system while driving down integration costs is to design your system of systems around one key property: inherent interoperability. But your design approach must embrace legacy systems. After all, you almost never start with a clean sheet of paper. Achiev...

High Performance Computing (HPC) brings to mind massively parallel systems that spare no expense. But today there is a very large HPC application space where computational performance must be balanced against cost to make a sound business case for real-world use. Advancements in processor and system...

Multicore and virtualization techniques are being applied across the embedded industry as a way to compartmentalize, gain performance, and increase capabilities of embedded devices. Medical devices must ensure security, reliability, and provide quick response and ease-of-use for patient care and eme...

Software pricing has always been controversial. As the evidence mounts that open source does not control costs, it has become even more critical. How much is software worth? Who should pay for it? What’s fair? Should vendors charge per floating license? Per user? For support only? Runtime royalties?...

Radar and electronic warfare (EW) system designers are continually are tasked with doubling and tripling performance in every new design or system upgrade, which places a tremendous demand on signal processing solutions for these applications. Military program managers want to track multiple targets...

If you’re developing safety-critical applications, you can’t afford to take chances. But commercial pressures don’t go away just because you’re diligent. The latest version of the MISRA standard lets you take advantage of more C features while helping you mitigate risk for safety-critical automotive...

Freescale and Green Hills Software have collaborated to deliver a high-performance processor and operating system solutions for compute-intensive applications. Freescale’s new QorIQ T4240 embedded processor (boasting the industry’s highest CoreMark score) has 24 high virtual cores with vector proces...

This webinar will show you how to deploy critical avionics software with quality and confidence. Using code verification tools, you can easily identify critical defects in your source code. With formal methods based verification, see how you can mathematically prove that your source code is safe and...

Multicore has arrived in the embedded applications space and it offers a way to increase performance, reduce power consumption, reduce bill of material costs and differentiate your products from the competition. However, designers face a number of challenges when adopting multicore technology into t...

Developing applications that can run over multiple cores, nodes or networks typically requires a significant amount of network-level programming. This low-level coding detracts from the implementation of application logic, introduces complexity, and is hard to maintain as requirements evolve and sys...

Implementing a full V-process for the entire product lifecycle with interoperable tools provides developers with greater control and accuracy. A structured approach to efficiently connect the various modeling elements (for both the physics and the controller software) to the physical description of...

There are a large number of systems targeted for various diagnosis and treatment applications for medical conditions. Without standards and interoperability of this equipment, silos of information are created making collection and “whole picture” diagnosis difficult. Join our roundtable as we talk a...

Therapeutic technologies have shaped the medical industry by delivering treatments that save lives and ameliorate chronic conditions. But many categories of therapeutic devices are prone to high rates of malfunction and recall. Between 2005 and 2010, a reported 4,343 medical devices were recalled in...

Cyber warfare has swiftly migrated from hacking into enterprise networks and the Internet to targeting, and being triggered from, mobile devices. With the recent explosion in the number of connected devices, security attacks can now be launched from anywhere and target any place. Securing mobile dev...

We cannot afford to continue our current defense design and acquisition processes. Open Architecture (OA) offers a vision of complex systems of systems built from composable, replaceable modules. Since it can dramatically reduce cost, OA is the future of defense systems. From its origins with the N...

Controlling the factory floor efficiently and securely has never been more important. However, design engineers typically have to worry about combining disparate parts and subsystems to get a controller—long before they can even get to their application. Freescale, QNX, ISaGRAF and KPA have develope...

Designers of electronic systems for unmanned vehicles, radar systems, fighter aircraft, ground vehicles, helicopter avionics, etc., all share a common challenge -- how to keep electronic systems cool when modern processors and boards generate so excessive heat and power. Today's chips from Intel, Fr...

For most medical device companies, the design control requirements of the FDA, as defined in 21 CFR Part 820, are fundamental to the business of developing products. The challenge is how to ensure that you remain compliant to these regulatory needs while reducing the overhead in doing so. Ideally, y...
