IEEE-USA Responds To ED Editorial On Immigration
In October, I joined George Scalise, president of SIA, in urging Congress to increase the permanent "employment-based immigrant visa cap" for foreign high-tech professionals. A month later, our position was mischaracterized in an Electronic Design editorial. From the headline, "IEEE Agrees with SIA on H-1B Visas for Foreign Engineers, Scientists," to saying we "joined forces to urge Congress to pass the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007," the work was fraught with factual errors.
Intel S5000XVN Hosts Dual Quad-Core Xeons
A pair of Xeon 5300 series processors will find a nice home on Intel’s S5000XVN motherboard. Our test system employed a pair of 3.0GHz, 65nm X5365 Xeon processors that plug into a LGA771 socket.
4 Platters = Terabyte Drive
Seagate’s Barracuda 7200.11 packs 1 Tbyte of data into 4 platters that fit into the standard 3.5-in hard drive space.
Lite-On Goes Blu-ray For Capacity And Performance
The LH-2B1S (Fig. 1) Blue-ray drive is Lite-On’s second generation of Blue-ray drives. It looks to lower the cost of entry while providing the 2x performance and 25Gbyte capacity needed for the latest hi-def movies and backup requirements.
FireGL V8650 For Workstations
The hype for video tends to be around the gaming industry but boards targeted for these applications do not necessarily address the broad range of applications including high performance workstation chores.
Teardown: The Best PC of 2007
Check out the components of Technology Editor Bill Wong's "Best PC of 2007."
EDA Alert: November 13, 2007
Even as leakage overwhelms their power budgets, IC design teams are finding ways to plug the holes that are costing them dearly at sub-micron nodes...
New Graphics For Nucleus
Mentor Graphics’ Nucleus RTOS got a face lift with the latest version of Mentor’s Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack for Nucleus OS.
Radisys Leverages ATCA and ATX Boards
Radisys addresses a number of embedded system areas. Two of its latest offerings are for ATCA and PC-style systems: JD35Q and QZ35Q ATX motherboards, and the ATCA-9100 media processing blade.
SiLabs Touts Tiny 8051
Silicon Laboratories delivered the tiny 20-pin, 4x4 mm quad flat no-lead (QFN) package C8051F336 family of 8051 chips at Boston ESC.
Quantum 3D Pushes Graphic PMC
Quantum 3D’s Sentiris 4110 PMC Models CD13 and CV10 deliver 2D/3D graphics support with analog video-capture and display capabilities.
Traces And MIPS32 At Express Logic
Express Logic has been busy lately with a new trace tool and support for Microchip’s new 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller based on the MIPS Technologies’ MIPS32 M4K core.
LynuxWorks RTOS Supports FPGA MCU
LynuxWorks LynxOS RTOS 5 was released earlier this year and on display at Boston ESC. It incorporated new versions of tools like the Eclipse-based Luminosity 3.0 IDE.
ESC Products, Round 3
Technology Editor William Wong reviews a third round of products he checked out at the Boston Embedded Systems Conference.
Security Data Visualization: Graphical Techniques For Network Analysis
Network security has been the realm of configuration files, pull down menus, and traffic traces that are wonderfully arcane and tricky to tackle. In many instances, graphical presentation of information can highlight aspects that are not readily obvious using non-graphical presentation. This book takes a look at some of the available techniques and the different areas where graphical presentation can make a difference.
The Lego Mindstorms NXT Idea Book
Lego's Mindstorm products target the youthful roboticist but, the dynamic nature and modularity of the NXT system makes it a useful platform for engineers and programmers moving into the robotics realm. If you have chosen NXT as your robotic platform and are not working on your PhD with plenty of robotic experience under your belt then this book will likely be an eye opener if not a valuable resource.
PIC Controllers: Know It All
Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers are extremely popular and the subject of many books, but this one probably wins the prize in terms of weight. It concentrates on the PIC 16 family.The book can be a handy teaching tool where embedded developers are the target audience. It presents PIC reasonably well in addition to some development tools that are available and how they work with the PIC architecture.
AdvancedTCA Processor Blade Boasts Dual 4-Gbit/s FC Links
The aTCA-6892 processor blade from ADLINK Technology features dual 4-Gbits/s Fiber Channel (FC) links powered by the Qlogic EP2432 PCI-E fiber channel controller. The blade offers remote setup and can be configured with the FC links at the front panel via SFP optical transceivers, or to the backplane with Zone 2 connectors, supporting PICMG 3.1 option 4/7 connectivity.
Eclipse-Based Java Environment Handles Hard Real-Time Jobs
Scorpion, a Java development environment, greatly simplifies the development of applications that combine Java, C, EC++, and Ada, and is the first Eclipse-based environment for hard real-time Java development and mixed-language integration, according to DDC-I Inc. The environment supports the existing Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ), and will support the emerging safety-critical Java specification presently under development by the Safety-Critical Java Expert Group.
Flat-Panel Touchscreen Computer Uses Geode LX800
Incorporating the latest AMD Geode processor and a modular design, the Sealevel Systems Inc. SeaPAC-LX flat-panel touchscreen computer gives system designers virtually unlimited configuration options and makes field maintenance and upgrades easy.
