Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
Process Your Data at the Edge
In our last blog, we discussed the concept of workload consolidation, which I described as the ability to provide higher performance and more functions with less hardware in an embedded/industrial system. As the IoT moves more into that same industrial space, we now want to take on Edge computing. As always, let’s first level-set and… Read More »
You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) is the top topic in the tech world. Leading semiconductor and software companies are pushing the boundaries with high-performance AI algorithms and signal processing techniques that are solving some of the most complex tasks ever presented to electronic devices. Most of the attention around AI today is given… Read More »
By George T Hilliard Multicore processors have been around for quite some time, dating back about 15 years for the mainstream-type devices that are fairly common today. They started as dual cores then went to quad cores. Now, you can find microprocessors containing hundreds or even thousands of “processors cores†in the same piece of… Read More »
Selecting the right single board computer (SBC) for your application is just that; it’s not selecting the board that the vendor thinks is best for you because he’s got extra inventory or just got a new developer that needs the work. It’s finding the board with the right peripheral mix, the right OS choices, and… Read More »
In our last blog, Arm or x86? Future-Proofing Your Industrial SBC Figures Prominently, Part 1, we looked at the first two of four considerations when determining whether your path toward an industrial single-board computer (SBC) should guide you towards the Intel x86 camp or toward an Arm-based processor. There, we covered efficiency versus performance and… Read More »
While there are many embedded solutions on the market, one question still seems to be in the back of the developer’s mind: Do I build it myself or buy an off-the-shelf solution? Or is there a third option? Luckily, regardless of whether you’re attempting to build with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, modified COTS… Read More »
It’s all about the operational environment An industrial computer is a computing platform that has been ruggedized for specific industrial applications that must function in sometimes harsh environments. Its computing capabilities are generally similar to an equivalent commercial PC in terms of storage, processing and communications. However, industrial computers are often designed to use less… Read More »
White Paper: Intel® Apollo Lake Atom™ SOC
An Examination of the Graphics Engine and Display Controller Capabilities in the Apollo Lake Family of Low-Power SOCs This document will detail the graphics and image processing capabilities present in the Apollo Lake family of low power SOCs. Intel’s Apollo Lake Atom system-on-chip (SOC) integrates the next generation of the Intel processor Core, Graphics, Memory… Read More »
