Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The authors of my Editor’s Top Picks for this week – Atego’s Kelvin Nilsen and Adacore’s S. Tucker Taft – believe that despite all the tools that allow embedded systems developers to maintain ...

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore famously wrote about how the number of transistors on silicon chips would double roughly every two years—an observation now known as Moore’s Law. But even as Intel pushes ...

Multicore chip designs, large symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and clustering can bring many processors to bear on an application. But without proper software, they're simply large ...

Programming general purpose multi-core processors is generally regarded as impossible, but XMOS Semiconductor has done it and is applying it in practical applications, according to the CTO of XMOS, ...

Programming a network processor offers its own challenges. That's because it differs in some fundamental ways from the general-purpose processors that have in the past been the staple of embedded ...

One simple method by which a manager can maintain a group of deteriorating activities at a high performance level is to inspect them in a fixed rotating sequence and immediately correct an activity ...
