Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
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 »
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 »
In our last blog, Arm or x86? Future-Proofing Your Industrial SBC Figures Prominently, Part 1, we 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, we covered efficiency versus performance and… Read More »
While there are many embedded solutions on the market, one question still seems to be in the back of the developer’s mind: Do I build it myself or buy an off-the-shelf solution? Or is there a third option? Luckily, regardless of whether you’re attempting to build with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, modified COTS… Read More »
