Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
By George T Hilliard Multicore processors have been around for quite some time, dating back about 15 years for the mainstream-type devices that are fairly common today. They started as dual cores then went to quad cores. Now, you can find microprocessors containing hundreds or even thousands of “processors cores” in the same piece of… Read More »

By George T. Hilliard In my last blog, Arm or x86? Future-Proofing Your Industrial SBC Figures Prominently, Part 1, I looked at the first two of four considerations when determining whether your path toward an industrial single-board computer (SBC) should guide you towards the Intel x86 camp or toward an Arm-based processor. There, I… Read More »

By George T. Hilliard Processor technology advances at breakneck speed, with new devices coming every 12 to 24 months. Bus standards aren’t moving quite as quickly, but they’re no slouch either. With (relatively) slower moving applications like MIL/COTS, medical, and industrial and their five to seven-year lifecycles, the pace of these upgrades can spell rapid… Read More »

Some industries caught on to the need for security before others, like those in the mission-critical space and those that potentially protect lives or money. But widespread adoption has not occurred. And it seems like hacking has almost become a sport for the bad guys. As we move forward, the amount of critical data that’s… Read More »
