Ivan Straznicky looks at the introduction of Gen 5 VPX, the initial Gen 5 VPX protocols are expected to be 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G-KR4) and Infiniband EDR [enhanced data rate).

New cost-effective OpenHPEC LX software toolkit features ARM® (formerly Allinea) DDT debugger and profiler

Tammy Carter looks at how debugging tools are expanding the ability to produce quality and more robust software for HPEC systems.

Performance is all about eliminating bottlenecks to minimize latency and maximize throughput. To maximize overall system performance requires the fastest, most efficient processor-to-processor data paths.

Radar and other digital processing systems are by their very nature complex and challenging to configure.

Tammy Carter from Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions looks at the questions a system designer should ask when selecting tools for a High performance embedded computing (HPEC) system.

The general-purpose graphics processing unit - GPGPU for short - represents perhaps the most revolutionary leap in computer processing capability in decades for aerospace and defense applications.

Microprocessor suppliers for aerospace and defense embedded computing systems generally fall into three camps: Intel, Qualcomm NXP, and NVIDIA.
