The programmable supercomputer on wheels

By Joel Seely (Altera Corporation)
Summary:
Total costs associated with sophisticated automotive electronics systems are rising. While automotive electronics now account for 22 percent of a vehicle's cost, industry analysts project that this figure will increase to at least 40 percent by 2010. As these systems continue to evolve with rapidly changing requirements, manufacturers strive ... (continues)
