Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
The age of digital signage is upon us. Just driving down the highway shows examples of billboards that rotate their messages as we pass. In many scenarios, signage that can recognize what’s occurring in its surroundings can be a boon for merchants, manufacturers, consumers, and the general public. Now, the digital transformation of public spaces… Read More »
The use of computer vision or machine vision continues to grow. That growth stems from the concept of pushing more intelligence (compute power) down to the Edge of the IoT, with vision systems piggybacking onto those systems, especially in industrial settings. There are many uses of computer vision and the list continues to grow.
If you’re a system developer or systems integrator, you likely have a dilemma: which form factor single board computer (SBC) do I deploy in my system? The answer is a very quick “it depends.” And it depends on many factors. I’ll go through some of the more popular form factors here so you can make… Read More »
By George T Hilliard Fog computing has been around for a while and its definition has deviated somewhat from its original definition, thanks to the latest available products and how much compute power is now available at the edge of the IoT. I wrote a blog on this topic a while back called Cloud, Fog… Read More »
Process Your Data at the Edge
In our last blog, we discussed the concept of workload consolidation, which I described as the ability to provide higher performance and more functions with less hardware in an embedded/industrial system. As the IoT moves more into that same industrial space, we now want to take on Edge computing. As always, let’s first level-set and… Read More »
You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) is the top topic in the tech world. Leading semiconductor and software companies are pushing the boundaries with high-performance AI algorithms and signal processing techniques that are solving some of the most complex tasks ever presented to electronic devices. Most of the attention around AI today is given… Read More »
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 »
Selecting the right single board computer (SBC) for your application is just that; it’s not selecting the board that the vendor thinks is best for you because he’s got extra inventory or just got a new developer that needs the work. It’s finding the board with the right peripheral mix, the right OS choices, and… Read More »
