Taking the complexity out of PCI Express configuration to optimize HPEC system design - Story
April 18, 2017
Performance is all about eliminating bottlenecks to minimize latency and maximize throughput. Today's high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) systems integrate powerful processing subsystems, each of which might be a fully functional processing node needing to share data with other processing nodes. To maximize overall system performance requires the fastest, most efficient processor-to-processor data paths. With VPX, embedded systems moved away from the VMEbus shared parallel bus model.

The commonality of COTS solutions for UUVs and UAVs - Story
April 13, 2017
Some time ago, when designers started thinking about unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) applications, concerns were raised that the undersea environment might be so different or exotic that standard solutions would need to be significantly modified. To the surprise of many, however, it was found that there is significant commonality between unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and UUV environments. There are, to be sure, unique aspects to each type of platform, but in general, standard rugged military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded solutions are applicable to both.

Covering the spectrum: Meeting the challenge of electromagnetic spectrum domination - Story
March 09, 2017
North Korea recently fired a missile across the Korean Peninsula and into the Sea of Japan. This latest threatening act highlights the increased volatility of the Pacific Region. Ongoing tensions in the Straits of Taiwan and China's construction of a string of artificial islands in the South China Sea also serve as stark examples of the need for effective SIGINT/ELINT [signals intelligence/electronic signals intelligence] coverage of the electro-magnetic spectrum (EMS) by the U.S. and its allies.

Reducing costs and risk while speeding development of signal processing system development - Story
February 10, 2017
Radar and other digital processing systems are by their very nature complex and challenging to configure. Depending on the system architecture, the radar program?s team of software, hardware, FPGA and system engineers might require four to eight weeks to optimize the configuration of the board level modules selected for their particular project.
