Component obsolescence is a concern across system development - Story

August 29, 2017
Component obsolescence is nothing new, and the problem isn't going away. While electronics innovations may move industry forward on one hand, the downside is that some electronics get left in the dust, no matter how widely adopted they may have been at one point.

The evolving role of GPGPUs in critical military intelligence - Story

June 12, 2017
For office workers, staring at a screen for hours a day can seem mundane, creating a feeling of tiredness or boredom. They escape by taking a break, walking away, and coming back in a few minutes after resting their eyes. Think that would fly in a military surveillance environment, where personnel must continually scan images to identify potential threats or persons of interest? Definitely not.

SBCs move beyond traditional roles in embedded architectures - Story

April 19, 2012
Advances in IC density as well as the advent of new, low-power processors have enabled embedded designers to rethink the traditional role of the SBC within embedded military applications. With more functionality being housed on fewer components, valuable space is freed up on the board itself, allowing for deeper SBC integration within complete, fully functioning embedded computing subsystems.
