Facilitating deep learning techniques with HPEC - Blog
October 31, 2016
The long-sought era of machine learning in finally at hand. The potential benefit to the warfighter of deep learning techniques both enormous and profound. With defense systems trending towards greater application autonomy, deep learning techniques too complex to implement with more traditional processing technologies can now help to significantly drive advancements in on-platform processing of streaming signal or image data. These techniques are proving useful for pattern recognition tasks such as natural language processing and image feature detection, producing highly reliable autonomous decisions based on huge data sets.

Application-ready platform choices expand rugged application possibilities - Story
July 04, 2015
Defense OEMs must find a way to cost-effectively meet mounting data throughput and processing needs with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms in smaller form factors. Application-ready systems that have been ruggedized for reliability in extreme military settings instill confidence with high availability by effectively addressing the significant power densities generated at the board, chassis, and system levels.

Mainstream IT-based HPEC technologies come of age - Story
December 10, 2014
High-performance embedded computing (HPEC) is moving from the data center into the field of combat. Mainstream HPEC building blocks can reduce costs for these applications while providing ultrafast backplane speeds in a much smaller footprint and easily accommodating new proof-of-concept requirements.

Microprocessor-based VPX platforms enable advanced signal processing - Story
January 17, 2014
Improved power-to-performance ratios with multicore processors in VPX systems are boosting viability and reducing reliance on the high costs of FPGA development. Since they fundamentally change the way signal processing is implemented, parallel-rate microprocessors do away with hand-coding threads and math algorithms and more efficiently bring together powerful computing platforms that can take full advantage of state-of-the-art processor features.
