Join QNX Software Systems and Freescale Semiconductor as we discuss threading models for creating multiple concurrent tasks and parallel processing on multicore chips. Well also explore design patterns for increasing parallelism (worker threads, peer threads, etc.

Cloud computing is the current industry trend. But what are the architectural advantages of hyperscale? And, in practice, how should a sysadmin best go about managing arrays of identical servers? .

Next-generation Intel Atom processors deliver unprecedented power efficiency, graphics performance, responsiveness, and connectivity enabling new products with groundbreaking intelligence and features. .

VME just celebrated 30 years of excellence. But where is it headed next? Developers of the VMEbus specification have managed to provide new innovation that has kept pace with today's most current technology.

Safety certification of flight critical software is more important than ever as cockpit avionics systems become more complicated with every upgrade, adding millions upon millions of lines of code. The certification of these systems is becoming an increasingly costly and time consuming process, frustrating commercial aircraft manufacturers and defense system integrators alike.

Real-time connectivity is critical in the development of new medical devices. From integrating internal monitoring systems, to delivering real-time analysis and correlation of patient data to reducing patient errors -- application developers for both med devices and patient monitoring systems are faced with these new challenges.

As market requirements evolve theres a growing need to move to advanced multicore microprocessors. There are many factors to consider when migrating to multicore including OS/RTOS, SMP or AMP modes, tool chains, and debug.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is transforming transportation, retail, medical, energy management, and other applications by connecting embedded devices to the Internet. The challenge for OEMs is dealing with the complex mix of M2M technologies, which include embedded hardware and software, enterprise services, and cloud computing.

Can you do more with less? Can you build devices that delight, in less time than your competition? Can you squeeze more performance out of ever-smaller devices, with less costly architectures and lower power consumption? This perpetual race to be the first with the best and the smallest has embedded designers turning to new hardware technologies, such as multicore, multithreading, system-on-chip, and 64-bit processors, as well as software such as 64-bit and security-compliant operating systems and virtualization technology. Such innovations may look like the shortest path to success, but they add complexity and risk project delays or feature compromise.

Over the last few years there has been a subtle but important shift in the way government procurement is taking place. In an effort to reduce through-life maintenance and modification costs, government organizations are looking to specify the architecture used across a multitude of systems.

This Webinar review MontaVista's GENIVI Compliant Automotive Technology Platform and discuss opportunities around Mobile Consumer Applications, create specific look and feel to your solution, add world class security to protect vital telematics functions from potential hacking via the infotainment environment, and much more. .

Military and ISR operations are inundated with vast amounts of data collected from an expanding network of sources, including sensor data from UAS, satellites, and remote monitoring stations. To address the challenge of providing the most advanced technology for military applications, COTS suppliers are redesigning systems from the ground up and extending the capability of commercial components.

Delivering competitive embedded systems with the right level of quality has become an enormous challenge in the A&D market. With limited resources available for testing, the quality team must clearly understand the impact of changes to requirements and code in order to successfully meet these challenges.

Most processor companies now offer multicore products, some targeting general-purpose applications; others are more specifically designed for specific applications. A great multicore solution requires a great combination of hardware and software.
