The future of embedded military multicomputing will be shaped by switched fabrics, high-speed data paths, multicore processors and increased pressures to reduce “SwaP.”
Applications like radar processing are hungry for high-performance computing. But raw performance must be weighed against other factors when making design choices.
In this era of multi-voltage electronics and distributed architectures, military power system design is getting tricky. A new approach to separating functions keeps those challenges in check.
Gone are the days when the power subsystem of a military embedded system could be left as an afterthought. A blend of custom and off-the-shelf strategies helps smooth the way.
By keeping close to the trailing edge of PC technology, PC/104 and EPIC boards bring PC-compatibility into the space-constrained military embedded computing realm.
