COTS Continuum for Defense Systems
Today, most defense programs rely on a multi-tiered supply chain characterized by costly layers of integration and management. Historically, this acquisition structure was necessary and emerged to...
Application Note: Options for Adding Ethernet Ports to Embedded Systems
For applications that need many ports of Ethernet I/O to interface to data bridges or remote I/O units (RIU’s), multiple ports of lower bandwidth may be required to aggregate via a switch or...
Application Note: I/O Expansion for COTS-based Embedded Systems
As multiple PMC/XMCs can support the various additional I/O, a variety of architectures can be created that support specific application requirements.
Eliminating Design Risk from the System Integration Equation
Given the realities of time-to-market pressures, reduced budgets and increased competition, there can be little argument that integrators of military systems get a far bigger return of investment...
Understanding HPEC Computing: The Ten Axioms
High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) is bringing previously unobtainable levels of processing power to compute-intensive defense and aerospace applications, through its unique convergence of...
Application Note: COTS Digital Signal Processors for Motion Control
Whether in the industrial, military or aerospace markets, the need for motion control is universal. A motion control application involves a motor that imparts motion requiring linear and/or...
Case Study: The Use of Virtualization in Embedded Systems
Virtual machine (VM) technology enables multiple disparate operating systems and associated applications to run on a single hardware platform. The use of virtualization is widely established in the...
Application Note: Processor to Processor Communications with PCIe Non-transparent Bridging (NTB)
This Application Note is a high level overview of the Processor to Processor Communication method using PCI Express® (PCIe) Non-Transparent Bridging (NTB) developed for the VPX3-1257 – Referred...
COTS Enabled Rapid Development to Deployment
In military, aerospace and first responder applications, System Integrators targeting highly rugged applications often utilize conduction cooled modules because of their superior performance in...
Application Note: Executing the Continuum Vector Libraries from within Java
These Application Notes discuss how Curtiss-Wright customers can wrap the Curtiss-Wright Continuum Vector Libraries in Java, and then execute any of our Altivec functions from within Java.
