‘Packet Processors’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release System host board for energy and medical sectors from Kontron, which we summarised at the time by saying "Kontron has introduced the PICMG 1.3 system host PCI-761, a slot-card-sized industrial server board equipped with the Intel Q57 Express chipset for asynchronous real-time applications.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release PCE-5125 board ideal for industrial applications from Advantech: "Advantech has introduced the PCE-5125 PICMG 1.3 form-factor single-host board, designed with the Intel Q57/3450 Express platform for industrial applications that require high computing power.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from ARM - take a look at SMSIS-DSP library of signal-processing algorithms which says: "ARM has released Version 2.0 of the ARM Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS), a vendor-independent hardware abstraction layer containing extensions for the Cortex-M4 processor.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Aitech Defense Systems, PCI mezzanine card targets the space industry, as well as Transduction offers server class computer from Transduction, and 28nm technology strategy targets wireless market from Altera.
