Rugged 10 GbE closes technology gap for military
John Wemekamp — While 10 GbE technology is still in its infancy via the XAUI standard, for example, it has not gained wide traction in the critical embedded market. However, the 10GBASE-KX4 serialized four-lane 10 GbE backplane standard is emerging to solve the challenge.
Ada matters!
Dr. Robert Dewar — Those who think Ada has disappeared from today's technology realm might be surprised to find out it's still alive and well in many large, critical applications.
Daily Briefing: News Snippets
Sharon Schnakenburg — A roundup of recent embedded technology news, including: Northrop Grumman rearchitects its C2PC, U.S. DoD reports on China's military, Space Micro and NASA detect space radiation, and U.S. Army expands its WIN-T contract, among other headlines.
The Wishbone II transaction bus: Another grade of speed
Uros Platise — Wishbone II, a new and improved version of the Wishbone bus, enables an advanced architecture providing separate read and write transactions. This allows many transactions take place simultaneously. The result: bus throughput reaches maximum levels.
Thinking inside the box: Boosting the effectiveness of air cooling
David Lippincott — Though system software performance continues to be a critical factor, environmental issues will often determine the success or failure of integrated computing platforms in mission-critical applications. Accordingly, steps such as calculating the airflow, factoring in impedance, and filtering out the environment are vital to solving the equation. 
More than just cryptography: The performance advantages of Suite B compliance
William Lattin — The National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) Suite B cryptosystem specification undeniably provides security, but how does performance fit into the picture? Both these considerations are vital in modern military apps, and the "key" just might be in the inherent efficiencies of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH), Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV), and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). 
Flash FPGAs: Often imitated, never duplicated
Hezi Saar — Truly nonvolatile FPGAs offer faster response times, significantly reduced power consumption, and faster response times than the volatile alternatives. System designers should also beware of hybrid solutions that still render the FPGA array as volatile. |
