Call for industrial research in Embedded Computing Systems

With about €100 million public funding the EU and at least a €100 million contribution from industry and research organisations, the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking has published its Call 2010 for R&D proposals

Engineers have increasingly been using MATLAB and Simulink for very concise modeling and design of their algorithms. With Synphony HLS, they can take algorithm concepts developed at this high level and implement them directly into silicon.

Enabling interoperability in high-performance embedded applications

OpenVPX expands on the VPX Base and Dot Specifications and provides a System Specification to address interoperability issues between VPX modules and Chassis. OpenVPX is an extensible specification which addresses the current and future needs for computing in harsh environments.

Small form factor boards embrace new generation of the Atom family

This article describes the PC/104 form factor CPU board and a type 2 COM Express CPU module based on the Intel Luna Pier and Luna Pier Refresh platforms.

Early verification and validation using model-based design

One of the primary benefits of model-based design is the opportunity to do rigorous verification and validation in parallel with all other development steps, especially early in the development process.
