Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
Process Your Data at the Edge
By George T Hilliard In my 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,… Read More »

By George T Hilliard You already know that artificial intelligence (AI) is the “next big thing” in the tech world. Leading semiconductor and software companies are pushing the boundaries with high-performance AI algorithms and signal processing techniques that, they hope, will solve some of the most complex tasks ever presented to electronic devices. Most of… 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 »

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 »
