 | | QNX Software Systems today unveiled the latest generation of its operating system and development tools for the automotive, industrial, medical, networking, and defense markets. |
| Targeted at Department of Defense, Homeland Security and other secure environments, Chassis Plans’ ATXW-5520 systems provide the security capabilities offered by Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT). Two Westmere-EP processors provide up to twelve cores and up to 144GB of DDR3 1333 memory with direct memory control and Intel QuickPath Interconnect technology for exceptional memory and I/O bandwidth. |
 | | Patient monitoring devices can benefit from the user interface capabilities and real-time data collection provided by the combination of Android[ ] and an RTOS. | |
 | | Combining real-time and general-purpose operating environments on the same platform places stringent requirements on how virtualization[] is implemented. | |
| Researchers in Thailand are using the military’s battlefield electronic medical recording system, MC4, to track occupational health records in their clinic and may leverage the system for further studies on infectious diseases. |
| Together, the speed of today’s high-performance processors and realtime patches for general-purpose OSs appear to have reopened the question of whether embedded systems still need an RTOS. The answer hasn’t changed: the guarantees only a true RTOS can offer on relatively low-end processors mean that these OSs are here to stay in embedded environments. |
| As a former Army medical operations leader at a detainee camp in Iraq, U.S. Col. Roman Bilynsky acknowledges the importance of the deployed medical recording system (MC4) in helping military physicians keep quality checks in place for patient care. |
 | | Embedded devices are progressively becoming access points to cloud services. | |
| At a workshop in November jointly sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Micro-RDC and ViASIC, attendees from eight companies took designs through all stages of the development flow, each producing a GDS-II file ready for fabrication |
