Performance is all about eliminating bottlenecks to minimize latency and maximize throughput. To maximize overall system performance requires the fastest, most efficient processor-to-processor data paths.

Radar and other digital processing systems are by their very nature complex and challenging to configure.

Tammy Carter from Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions looks at the questions a system designer should ask when selecting tools for a High performance embedded computing (HPEC) system.

The general-purpose graphics processing unit - GPGPU for short - represents perhaps the most revolutionary leap in computer processing capability in decades for aerospace and defense applications.

Microprocessor suppliers for aerospace and defense embedded computing systems generally fall into three camps: Intel, Qualcomm NXP, and NVIDIA.

Direct sampling using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC, eliminates the need for a front-end mixer and enables the full communications bandwidth to be processed digitally using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques.

As the demand for larger-scale, higher-performance deployed HPEC systems increases, access to the best development tools will only become more critical. Learn more about leveraging tools such as debuggers, profilers, and cluster managers.

John Keller with Military & Aerospace Electronics discusses embedded computing designers' need to take a systems approach to cooling high performance processor systems.
