Embedded processor saves power under
water
A novel undersea pipeline monitoring system features multiple sensor nodes, each driven by a Blackfin processor.
Blackfin processors form an integral part of the world's first distributed, synchronised undersea pipeline monitoring system, developed by Bjorge based on Naxys technology for Norway's largest-ever industrial project, tapping the Ormen Lange natural gas field The Naxys technology uses hydroacoustics and other noncontact sensor technologies for their complex subsea state monitoring and analysis tasks

The next-generation Blackfin processor family is claimed to deliver twice the performance at half the power consumption of conventional DSPs and embedded processors.
Dual-core device stars in embedded processor line
Analog Devices has expanded its Blackfin processor family to include a new class of embedded processor, the ADSP-BF561, which integrates two identical Blackfin cores.
The system was developed using National Instruments LabView Development Module for ADI Blackfin Processors.
The LabView Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors is an extension of the LabView graphical development environment and directly targets ADI Blackfin Processors.
