Ever-smaller silicon geometries are reaching their physical limits. This threatens to slow the pace of Moore’s Law to a stand-still. As a result, multicore technology is becoming widely available to address the performance bottleneck. The key to successful multicore product development i... Mores system and application level software that takes full advantage of the parallel processing environment without being too difficult or time consuming to write and validate. Multicore silicon allows the flexibility to partition cores for specific functions thereby requiring fewer silicon components or replicating the same processing function across multiple cores to substantially increase processing power. LAN/WAN/MAN networking, mobile 4G/LTE, medical, automotive, and industrial control markets already use multicore processing, and the list is growing. The multicore channel keeps your finger on the pulse of silicon, platform, and software developments as they happen in order to make effective and efficient use of this quickly advancing technology.
Today’s autonomous and artificial intelligence (AI) military systems process an ever-growing amount of sensor data. To handle this extreme workload, system architects must design boards using the fastest FPGA [field-programmable gate array] devices and Intel multicore processors. These devices cannot provide peak performance without massive amounts of high-speed double-data rate fourth generation (DDR4) memory for resident data and real-time execution.
With the incorporation of a new US company, Rapita Systems Inc., Rapita Systems will now be able to offer its software verification solutions to defense-related and other restricted access projects.
