Multi-core processors are quickly taking hold in the market. New device designs are started every day with the intention of leveraging the power multi-core processors deliver. But what about your existing applications that must run on these new devices. Do you have to completely re-architect and re...

Programming on legacy embedded, real-time platforms often implies developing multithreaded applications that run in a single address space. The implications, obstacles, and risks are far reaching, time consuming and often severe. The alternative consideration is migrating to a platform which support...

Developers of highly reliable systems are in a seeming Catch-22 between quality and speed. Traditional methods of developing critical applications rigorous testing, coding standards and peer reviews — help assure quality at the expense of developer time. They result in higher costs and longer schedu...

This webinar covers the proliferation of multi-core CPUs and the special challenges they present to developers of safety-critical avionics software. Industry experts from DDC-I, (a supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications for over 30 years) will hi...

Wind River's VxWorks 653 Platform, now in use in over 40 aircraft by over 100 customers, recently achieved another success with the first flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, where VxWorks 653 is the foundation of the Common Core System (CCS) provided by GE Aviation, supporting more than a dozen hos...

While there might be fewer cars built for the next couple years, there are more and more electronics and software in every car every day. Standards such as AUTOSAR, MISRA, SAE J2640, LIN, FlexRay, MOST, and others are gaining in usage. We'd like to take an inside look with examples at how standards...

Running such applications in a cloud computing environment requires the hosting system to be configured and reconfigured on demand - operations that introduce the following challenges

In this unique roundtable event, the leaders behind OpenVPX gather to discuss the benefits of VPX technology, the need for interoperability, and what's being done to define OpenVPX working profiles which maintain full compliance with VPX but allow vendors and users to design hardware that works toge...

Join Intel, Advantech and Kontron to find out how Intel technology can help you meet today's tough design challenges. If you're faced with creating medical devices that adhere to low-power and other stringent requirements, be sure to attend this webinar. During this hour you will gain powerful knowl...

Join RTI and Wind River for an informative free webinar on industry-leading technologies for developing and deploying real-time distributed systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions requiring security and safety qualifications. Companies responsible for developing safe and secure milit...

Software that fails in any way is expensive, as much as $300B annually according to industry surveys: product recalls or fielding upgrades can impact revenues, profits, reputations, and the possibility of repeat business. Being efficient in achieving software quality is important, and there are new...

“Smart Grid” is the latest buzz word in the energy sector as utilities are looking to build out an intelligent grid from the utility to the meter. While the Smart Grid looks at end to end connectivity but the battle for energy efficiency and an effective smart grid won't be won via complex distribu...

Industrial designs are evolving quickly and new classes of devices are creating requirements for enhanced graphics and connectivity. Sophisticated human machine interfaces, internet connectivity, audio and video are all converging in industrial applications including Security, Monitoring and Automat...

The new analog I/O FMC cards from Curtiss-Wright Controls eliminate data bottlenecks by supporting bandwidths in excess of 6B/s with direct low latency connections to host FPGAs such as a Xilinx Virtex-5 or Virtex-6. This helps system designers optimize and increase DSP subsystem performance. Our gr...

Multicore processors are being broadly adopted in networking applications in order to meet increasingly demanding performance requirements and tight power budgets. While multicore offers a continuation of Moore ’s law on the hardware side, it introduces a disruptive change and therefore a great chal...

This webinar covers technical tips and techniques for developing safety-critical avionics software in compliance with DO-178B (up to, and including, Level A design assurance). Industry experts from DDC-I, (a supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications...

In the past, proprietary hardware and software were commonplace in communications infrastructure, but times have changed. In recent years Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and Telecom companies have taken a new approach in how they develop their applications. Today, these companies turn to Linux an...

One of the benefits of VPX is lots of pins and possibilities - but it's also a drawback, because there are almost too many choices. Toss in legacy VME boards and it gets even more interesting. Add in further options for slot pitch, cooling options, and ESD control with REDI, and the choices for pack...

The US military's network-centric warfare (NCW) vision imposes significant system-level requirements. New systems need to be far more capable, yet be cheaper, smaller, lighter, and consume less power. Many programs now have streamlined acquisition requirements. And these systems have to interoperate...
