Ben Klam, Vice President Engineering, of Extreme Engineering Solutions is one of the presenters for the Military & Aerospace Electronics Webcast on Wednesday May 19th. The topic of the webcast is "The Intel Core i7 microprocessor in aerospace and defence applications".
The Intel Core i7 microprocessor is taking the aerospace and defense embedding computing industry by storm, largely do to the floating-point processing capability of the i7 device. While Intel is incorporating floating-point processing in the Core i7 to enable desktop and laptop computers to handle video faster and more efficiently, the military embedded computing community looks to floating point for digital signal processing (DSP) to crunch the complex and fast-moving data streams from radar, sonar, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence systems, as well as for advanced video processing. This Webcast features presentations from prominent embedded computing companies using the Core i7 processor that outline the most promising aerospace and defense applications for the chip, as well as from Intel, the designer and manufacturer of the Core i7.You can register for this webcast at: Intel Core i7 Webcast
Nigel attended the Business Link South West "Magic of Web Marketing" seminar presented by Alan Poulton at the Cricklade Hotel & Country Club in Wiltshire this morning. A well attended event with over 60 in the audience from a very broad range of industries. This was the second web marketing event that Nigel had attended and it was a very useful review of the current web world. Alan did a great job and Google seemed to be in every second sentence!

Altera today announced its next-generation 28-nm Stratix V FPGA family, the industry's highest bandwidth FPGA. Offering up to 1.6 Tbps of serial switching capability, Stratix V FPGAs leverage a myriad of new technologies and a leading-edge 28-nm process to reduce the cost and power of high-bandwidth applications. Manufactured on TSMC's 28-nm High-Performance (HP) process, the Stratix V FPGA family provides up to 1.1 million logic elements (LEs), 53-Mbits embedded memory, 3,680 18x18 multipliers and integrated transceivers operating up to an industry-leading 28 Gbps. The devices also incorporate the industry's highest level of application-targeted hard intellectual property (IP) for increased system integration and performance without the cost and power penalty. The family includes four variants that address a broad range of applications in the wireless/wireline communications, military, broadcast, computer and storage, test and medical markets.These variants include:Stratix V GT FPGA - Industry's only FPGA with integrated 28-Gbps transceivers targeting 100G systems and beyondStratix V GX FPGA - Supports a wide range of applications with 600-Mbps to 12.5-Gbps transceiversStratix V GS FPGA - Optimised for high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) applications with 600-Mbps to 12.5-Gbps transceiversStratix V E FPGA - Highest density FPGA ideal for ASIC prototyping, emulation or high-performance computing applications"The innovations we made in our fifth-generation Stratix family dramatically improve the density and I/O performance of our high-end devices, further strengthening the FPGAs' competitive position versus ASICs and ASSPs," said Vince Hu, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Altera Corporation. "Altera remains committed to solving the challenge of increasing bandwidth while staying within designer's cost and power requirements. From the core to the I/O, we touched all aspects of Stratix V FPGAs to ensure they deliver the highest level of performance, density and integration."An array of white papers, videos and technical documentation highlighting how Stratix V FPGAs help solve today's most demanding design challenges are available for viewing on Altera's website.

Looking into exhibiting and/or presenting a paper at Embedded Live in October 2010 at Earls Court. Sarsen Technology used to regularly exhibit at the Embedded Systems Show but we have not done so for the past three years. We would be interested to hear feedback from clients and colleagues.
Trenton Technology has started to create video demonstrations for new product releases. Trenton plans on uploading them to You Tube as they become available and they are excited to show existing and prospective users the new items they are releasing.
From the new PCI Express Gen 2 products to the latest and greatest long-life Intel Jasper Forest processors and Nehalem chipsets, these videos will be designed to show you what Trenton Technology hast to offer. So drop by, watch a video and leave a comment. Trenton would love to hear your feedback.
