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...

Web 2.0 strategies are now a must for all marketers, managers and sales engineers. Over the past few years, businesses have been trying to grasp MySpace, Facebook, Second Life, blogs, Flikr, YouTube, and Twitter and integrate them into their outbound marketing campaigns. Of these, Twitter is current...

Multicore processors create challenges for software development. Embedded operating systems are being enhanced to support multicore environments but software developers also need advanced tools to help address multicore software development issues. Discover how a model driven approach allows for rap...

The Linux operating system is increasingly being used for embedded software projects. In fact, according to analyst firms VDC, EMF and others, it’s become the dominant choice for new development projects over any other embedded OS. However, there are numerous obstacles that push software engineers o...

Can hardware and software be developed for SoCs independently, or are the two so tightly coupled they must be developed concurrently? Can modeling the "system" wait until actual silicon is available, or must it be done with better tools at the architecture stage before the SoC is created? If 90% of...

This webinar is right for you if you are looking at using Linux and Open Source on devices, have just started, or if you are already using it and want to revisit and refine your Linux strategy. We will not dive deep into technical questions, but we will look at how the use of certain technologies i...

The initial promise of AdvancedTCA was to create an architecture capable of much higher compute density and a leap in data plane capability over prior architectures. With a variety of AdvancedTCA solutions now solving problems in many applications, it's time to look at if and how this promise has be...

This webinar will explore how intelligent device manufacturers can leverage Linux and other Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the current challenging economic environment. This live event will examine how building with and on open source technologies can impact product lifecyles, from prototyp...

With the world going "small" and "green," and users demanding ever-more functionality and computing power in everything from mobile phones and iPods to multicore-based servers, power-aware design and the need to relentlessly cut power consumption has arguably become the most important issue facing s...

Intel Atom processors are associated with many of the hot consumer and info-tainment products on the market, but how about the broader embedded market including industrial, retail and office automation, health, aerospace and more? Using Intel Atom and Moblin with a commercial Linux vendor’s tools, s...
