High-speed ADC/DAC and FPGAs drive the design of next-generation SATCOM systems - Story

July 28, 2016
Many military satellite communications (SATCOM) systems operate in the very-high-frequency S-band (2 to 4 GHz) and C-band (4 to 8 GHz) range. Accurate sampling of satellite communications requires frequency rates that are at least twice, but preferably 2.5 to 3 times, the speed of the carrier frequency.

Turbocharge HPEC system design with HPC development tools - Story

July 25, 2016
As parallel programming grows in importance and popularity, the critical challenge has become how to intelligently manage, develop, and debug the increasingly complex code. Traditional tools such as trace analysis, serial debuggers, and the venerable "printf"statement just aren't up to the task. Although some commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vendors and customers in the embedded-defense space have attempted to develop their own parallel programming tools, the task has proved difficult and the resulting tools are far from full-featured. What's more, using proprietary development tools can add risk to a program's cost and schedule. The good news: A better source of tools for designing cutting-edge high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) systems already exists in an adjacent market - the commercial high-performance computing (HPC) market. Sourcing proven and powerful tools from the HPC community, long supported by an expansive user base, can greatly speed delivery time while decreasing costs and program risk.

10 Gigabit backplane Ethernet for embedded supercomputers - Story

June 14, 2016
Designers of next-generation high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) solutions for demanding intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems applications got a boost from the introduction of Intel's multicore Xeon D system-on-chip (SoC) processor earlier in 2016. This device provides as many as 16 cores in the same power footprint as earlier four-core devices and features the rugged ball-grid-array (BGA) packages and extended temperature range needed for deployed applications.
