VDI allows programs, applications, processes and data from remote PCs to be stored and managed from a central location. The result is reduced costs, improved productivity, enhanced security and more.

As smartphone and tablet use increases, the opportunity for a wide range of accessories and App-based accessories ("appcessories") is growing and its more than just speaker docks. Learn about the latest trends and the wide range of accessory solutions for iPhone, iPad and Android devices that are possible with Freescale MCUs, MPUs, sensors and analog products, including software and rapid prototyping systems.

This webcast should lead to discussions how best practices supported by an effective tool platform can improve your results, and to questions about what kinds of measurements are most effective in system and software delivery. Learn how IBM Rational can help you "instrument" your systems and software delivery processes to achieve much better results.

This webinar is intended as a combination of the two: education and fun. It will show how a distributed version of Life can be implemented using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard from the Object Management Group (OMG).

Automotive systems development has evolved into an intricate blend of safety-critical software systems, infotainment, and connectivity. Literally hundreds of software components and subsystems are involved that run on a variety of processors and architectures within the auto.

Looking to build a complex distributed system based on the latest and greatest technical innovations? The Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard from the Object Management Group (OMG) provides the software infrastructure for a diverse range of systems, from small networking appliances to massive wind farms. Since its adoption in 2004, the DDS standard and its implementations have evolved to address the needs of this broad application base.

Endurance and reliability must be examined before determining the optimal flash solution, every application requires different requirements which must be addressed at the design in stage. ATP offers three levels of endurance calculations optimizing the Total Cost of Ownership, by utilizing data usage scenarios, Total Bytes Written (TBW) and Write Amplification Index (WAI) inputs.

The average midrange car has over a dozen microprocessors in it. High-end models have over 100.

Ultra-precise timekeeping that can change the outcome of missions is now mandatory for mission critical military applications. Atomic clocks in the past have offered the accuracy and precision required for these applications but could not be used due to their large form factors - which added to the overall weight of the system and total power consumed.

The multicore era shifts more responsibility for performance gains onto the software developer who must direct how work is distributed amongst the cores. Obtaining performance increases requires developers make significant software modifications to transform current sequential applications into parallel ones.

Complying with safety and security certification standards and requirements in any market is an expensive, tedious, and time-consuming task, but it saves lives in the friendly skies and can be a force multiplier on the battlefield. Meeting those requirements is often more efficient through open architecture designs and the use of common standards much the way the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) consortium is doing in the military avionics realm.

Finding and integrating components for connected devices can be a major challenge. The Intel Intelligent Systems Framework solves the problem by specifying an interoperable set of hardware, operating systems, and software.

Advances in network mapping enable network management systems to capitalize on topology intelligence already available from your network and system devices, saving you effort, time, and money. Join Brian Jacobs of Ipswitch to learn five best practices to ensure that you are doing the most with the topology intelligence provided by your network devices.

The best way to architect your distributed system while driving down integration costs is to design your system of systems around one key property: inherent interoperability. But your design approach must embrace legacy systems.

High Performance Computing (HPC) brings to mind massively parallel systems that spare no expense. But today there is a very large HPC application space where computational performance must be balanced against cost to make a sound business case for real-world use.
