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.

100k insertion/extraction cycle support for high reliability.

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.

Curtiss-Wright announced that it is collaborating to bring the eXpressWare PCIe Software Suite into Curtiss-Wright's OpenHPEC Accelerator Suite.

The next generation High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) are being created in the newest rugged products, support and software development tools.
