Xeon-D and 3U VPX combine for cognitive EW - Story

February 02, 2016
Intel's new Xeon D system-on-chip (SoC) is making large numbers of x86 processing cores readily available for embedded defense applications. With an architecture designed to support math-intensive processing and very-high-bandwidth data transfers, the Xeon D enables advanced cognitive electronic warfare (EW) applications to operate in small size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained platforms.

Curing the longevity of supply blues - Blog

December 21, 2015
POWER ARCHITECTURE TODAY Blog: Longevity of supply is a concern that can keep embedded military program managers up at night for a long, long time. That’s because the time scale for deployed military systems is impressively lengthy. It’s not unusual for RFPs received today to require single board computers (SBC) that need to be supplied in production volumes into 2025-2030. That support period actually starts at the back-end of production, after an SBC has already been designed in and deployed. The time that it takes to get a selected SBC designed, and the software application written, for a new program can be as long as three to four years.

AltiVec is back - Blog

November 23, 2015
POWER ARCHITECTURE TODAY Blog: Freescale’s new T-series processor has brought back the AltiVec floating point SIMD instruction set, the heart of many defense and aerospace digital signal processing (DSP) applications for the last two decades. AltiVec, a mainstay of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) DSP boards for years, went missing in action for one series of previous devices. A disappearing act that led embedded system users to look for an alternative solution.
