Critical embedded computing systems.Those are dependable, supportable, configurable, reliable, serviceable, and upgrade-able systems. Critical embedded computing system designers worldwide face significant design challenges, summarized in the abbreviation SWAP-C for size weight and power, C is added for the cost, those challenges come from the need for reliability for operation at harsh ambient, mission critical, long product life-cycles to manage, demanding performance, system inter-operability, data and system security, and time-to-market. Systems should operate flawlessly, co-operate seamlessly, to protect life, and property.
Such systems rely on the durable products of cutting-edge technologies. New projects are leveraging advancements in:
- State-of-the-art semiconductor such as multi-core embedded processors, GPUs, and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
- Serial switch fabric interconnects new standards that include Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, and serial RapidIO technologies, making best use of low latency high throughput capturing the benefits of performance and life cycle advantages.
- Modular COTS components. Along with our carefully selected partners, we can deliver a tailored solution based on our customers’ design criteria with a lower cost of entry, long lifecycle and maintenance support.
- latest open standards architectures such as VPX, OpenVPX, XMC, PCIe/104 and COMe, as well as mature standards such as VME, CPCI, and PCI.
Using this approach to your critical embedded demands would ensure a higher level of inter-operability based on tested technology. Such systems are used in solutions for wide range of applications in the:
- Aerospace & Defense industries, such as high performance data acquisition, Navigational guidance systems, Command Control Communication Computing Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Radar SIGINT, and EW, mission-critical data recorders & computing systems, video capture and streaming, and Maintenance support systems.
- scientific research such as big physics.
- Transportation.
- Industrial.
- Power and Energy.
- Communication industries.
