A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

Last week there was a bustle of activity at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston. In particular, it was apparent that the use of programmable logic in the form of FPGAs is dramatically ...

As a technical editor, I am faced with the challenge of both tracking broad trends that allow me to spot the hot spots, but at the same time drill down in key areas to deal with issues specific to a ...

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

In an attempt to capitalize on the huge opportunity in the embedded systems market, and the dominance of the Java programming platform, Oracle has unwrapped a new set of offerings facilitating the ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

Embedded systems are emerging as the latest challenge in the drive to secure deployed U.S. military technologies, including those residing within weapons and flight controllers. Because they are ...

By combining proven hardware architectures with reusable graphics software, it helps engineers cut development time, reduce system complexity, and deliver intuitive, visually rich interfaces across ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of layer 1 ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

Usable product life is a critical factor in the success of any portable device, and managing power efficiency is a key requirement for embedded systems today. Historically, power management was seen ...
