CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Design, prototype and test individual projects involving microprocessors and related devices such as PAL/FPGA and special purpose ICs. Embedded-system tools such as special ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers. On December 6, ...

Multi-microprocessor systems are becoming more prominent in new vehicle and construction equipment applications. Recommended practices are being developed by SAE for serial data communications between ...

When the microprocessor and inexpensive ROM memory arrived in the early 1970s, building small, stored-program computing systems became practical. System designers learned that with the rapidly growing ...

Interconnect mechanisms are application-specific and represent a significant part of a design's value. Being able to capture system-level processor interactions is key to validating your system. You ...

The race to process more data faster using less power is creating a series of debug challenges at the system level, where developers need to be able to trace interactions across multiple and often ...

The paper presents a case study on implementation of the fault tolerant LEON-3 processor system on a chip for space applications. The single-event upset (SEU) tolerance is provided by design. The ...

For engineers looking forward to the future chips powering their products and systems, the annual Hot Chips conference gives an under-the-hood glimpse at some of the next-generation processors they ...

SGI recently debuted its new 64-bit, 64-processor, Linux system based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor—a significant announcement for the company and for Linux. This system marks the opening of a new ...
