Make the right choice and get to market faster

Thomas Eklund —

Synchronous dataflow architecture matches architecture to application.

Nitin Tomar —

Nitin outlines approaches to LTE migration that avoid potential problems.

Navraj Nandra —

Networking, storage, industrial, and consumer electronics applications are avoiding slowest link limitations by moving to switched serial architectures.

Neil Petraca —

EMR gaps can be avoided without resorting to the “perfect” EMI enclosure – a seamless thick steel ball with no seams.

Joe Pavlat —

The simple life. How AdvancedTCA plans to embrace it for data center applications.

Curt Schwaderer —

What role will the Internet Engineering Task Force's NETCONF play in a standards-based ecosystem?

Dr. Asif Naseem —

Learn from this real-life example why the continuous availability of mission-critical applications must be factored into system design from the get go.

Tony Romero, Eric Heikkila and Will Smith —

MicroTCA's benefits resonate with telecommunications and mil/aero.

Vollrath Dirksen —

MicroTCA opens the possibility of extending the life of older systems.

Joe Pavlat —

Time to look beyond older, parallel bus based architectures with many single points of failure to meet the needs of future accelerators and detectors.

Curt Schwaderer —

What happens when networking and high availability software solutions come into multicore’s sphere of influence?

Steve Looby —

As vendors vie with one another to put Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) solutions to work, developers would do well to assess these products carefully for their ability to reduce time to market and cut costs.

Hermann Strass —

A large scientific research center focusing on photons and particle physics is using AdvancedMC and AdvancedTCA boards.

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, Inc. —

Despite its throughput advantages, the latency of Ethernet is unpredictable. In fact, this may be Ethernet’s key shortcoming. The goal of this paper is to discuss aspects that influence latency and how to analyze it.

Joe Pavlat —

Topics in this Annual Resource Guide include a new thermal design tutorial series and an article outlining key signal integrity issues.

David Wright —

As they say about age, 400 W is just a number. This thermal management tutorial series will formalize much of the wide amount of existing expertise in convection cooling in the belief that even 400 W should not be considered a ceiling.

David Pursley and Christine Van De Graaf —

Working with an airplane's server-like, bandwidth-hungry environment so passengers can take high availability entertainment for granted.

Markus Witte —

Connector design, simulation, measurement, and analysis must become even more precise, as large bit rate jumps pose a challenge to optimizing channel signal integrity.

Service Availability Forum —

Service Level Agreements are tough taskmasters, and the job isn't getting any easier. The Service Availability Forum is stepping up its effort to educate the communications and computing industries on how to develop applications that can achieve high service availability.

Performance Technologies —

New Advances Provide New Opportunities for Equipment Developers

Stuart Jamieson —

Assembling a high-performance team as 100 GbE comes into view

Paul Dinh —

At times it must seem that processors, chipsets, and solid-state storage devices are not just evolving, but shape shifting. And all three and more must be considered by designers seeking solid-state storage solutions.

Jean-Marc Valin —

Emerging wideband codecs will bring on the next wave of voice quality improvements.

Joe Pavlat —

AdvancedTCA volumes are ramping up, but what drivers affect volume the most?

Matt Jones —

Multiroot system architectures are no longer the barrier they once were to PCI Express being adopted as the primary system interconnect.

Gary Drossel —

Avoiding the drawbacks of storage subsystems originally meant for consumer applications

David Pursley —

A 6U CompactPCI/PICMG 2.16 architecture choice for a ground vehicle's navigation system adds reliability and reduces Total Cost of Ownership.

Jim Lawrence —

Architect from the get go knowing multiple technologies from multiple vendors must be integrated, and cut the time, cost, and effort of deploying integrated network equipment.

John Fryer —

OpenSAF Foundation President John Fryer outlines efforts to create an open environment for high availability middleware.

Justin Moll and Eike Waltz —

MicroTCA has a role to play in both military and telco applications, and that means a one-size-fits-all cooling solution won't be the answer.

Doug Sandy —

The new PICMG committee focused on weaving KR, KX4, and KX fabrics into the existing AdvancedTCA Ethernet standard (PICMG 3.1) is making steady progress toward a release in the first part of 2009.

Christopher Gobok —

Learn about options other than the traditional approach to high voltage current and voltage monitoring implementations.

Uwe Tews and Peter Zimmermann —

Uwe and Peter address cost containment, development time, and mezzanine characteristics for developers looking to make the most successful MicroTCA I/O decisions.

Didier Irlande —

Industrial, medical, and other applications can employ virtualization to take advantage of MicroTCA systems and migrate software to new multicore architectures such as the Intel Core Microarchitecture.
