Have you ever thought of having a systematic approach for selecting right processor for your upcoming SoC? Absolutely, every day we all think about it and finally go with our “gut feeling”. Selection of processor is becoming extremely complex day by day and is not at a straightforward task as opposed to early days of […]
Real-time constraints, reconfigurability and safety have a direct impact on architecture design and on the validation/certification process, at the aircraft and system level. Current certification of Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA) avionics using network calculus cannot accurately predict communication and processing latency. Here is a solution for IMA-based avionics to generate certification tests, conduct what-if analysis, […]
Incremental Designs are common and highly practiced approach in every avionics system design process. Designing a new system from ground-up is prone to multiple issues right from technical to overall cost required. Even a minor up gradation of application software may cause huge impact on the overall system performance and power consumption. Predicting system performance […]
Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, Ethernet is not the right choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming such as time synchronized […]
Multi-core, mutli-thread, multi-processors, lower power, more performance, shorter response time, higher throughput. These are all the sales pitch and potential of these new technology. Be it Nvidia with a large number of small cores, or the Monarch with it is local embedded memory or the Intel architectures or the Snapdragon, multi-cores are the new approach. […]
