We will demonstrate how to develop, test, and validate real-time control algorithms using Simulink and Stateflow, without needing to acquire development tool chains, building devices drivers, or board support packages(BSPs). We’ll discuss how to test these algorithms in simulation, and automatically generate code so they be integrated with the rest of your system. We will also show how to deploy your algorithms to a real-time system using an x86 compatible embedded platform, Real-Time Workshop, and xPC Target. Lastly, we will demonstrate how these algorithms may retargeted into a production environment.

There are many strategies a project can take to test their embedded software applications. These include code coverage analysis, full unit testing, and static code analysis. Ideally, most organizations would like a repeatable regression testing process that is easy to implement and has a measurable impact on product quality. But how do you get there? Find out exactly as we explore the various ways companies from a wide range of industries combine various testing approaches to improve overall product quality and test repeatability.

Increasing software content and complexity in today’s embedded devices amplifies the risk of failure and complicates the process of achieving high confidence in safety and reliability. Traditional software testing methods are limited in scope and static analysis based testing produce high rates of false positives. Formal methods based abstract interpretation is quickly becoming the solution of choice, because it proves the absence of a defined set of run-time errors in code. By verifying code to be free of fatal run-time errors such as under/overflows, out-of-bounds array index, illegal pointer de-referencing and other run-time errors, software and quality engineering teams are able to improve the overall reliability of software. Learn how these new techniques can be applied to the development of critical embedded applications where software quality is at stake.

There are several 100 drivers and modules in the Linux kernel distribution. Learn exactly how static source code analysis can help improve the quality and reliability of these (and your) modules. Come find out what static source code analysis is and see examples of analyzing Linux device driver sources.

We will show you how the latest innovations in copper and fiber optic-based PCIe 2.0 adapters can take your application to the next level while taking your costs to new lows. See how PCIe over fiber can network systems, create data recording systems and an ultra-low latency link for GPU accelrated HPC. Learn how PCIe over copper and fiber can help your data recorder reach sustained throughput of 1.2 GB/s. By migrating the already stellar performing One Stop Systems MediaVault high speed storage systems and the Talon 4 ultra-rugged, flight-worthy, military storage systems to the next generation of fiber-optic PCIe 2.0 cable technology, see how your storage application can truly fly. Learn about the PCI Express cable and fiber standardization efforts. Join us while we show you the latest fiber optic transceivers, copper and fiber-based HBAs that make PCIe cable speeds up to 160GB/s and beyond possible up to hundreds of meters for cloud computing, data center HPC, multi-video display and GPU acceleration applicaitons. Whether your application is military, medical, broadcast, HPC, high-speed instrumentation, converged communications or simulation, you cannot afford to miss this free technology session.

Have you experienced: -Products losing market share, or causing missions to fail, because they use too much Space, Weight, and/or Power (SWaP)? -High IT costs because multiple computers sit on your developers or operators desks to process data at different levels of classification, e.g. Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret? -Servers in your organization being hacked, costing unsustainable losses in productivity, reputation, dollars, or mission risk? -Customers mandating the use of a "Separation Kernel" or "Secure Hypervisor" in the systems you are building? -Customers requiring "certified" or "certifiable" "High Robustness" and/or "EAL6+" for your next project? We invite you to attend this seminar to learn how an absolutely secure operating system will benefit you and your team.

Do most embedded projects need an RTOS? Its a good question. The answer lies in the very nature of embedded devices. Devices that, in many cases, are manufactured in the thousands, or millions, of units. Devices where even a $1 reduction in per-unit hardware costs can save the manufacturer a small fortune. Savings aside, the services provided by an RTOS make many computing problems easier to solve, particularly when multiple activities compete for a systems resources. This session explores what is realtime, what makes a realtime system and when its needed. Attend and learn about some of the critical elements of realtime computing such as scheduling, priority inversion, interrupt handling and reliability.

We will discuss the seamless integration of Xilinx FPGAs and Tilera pro 64 asics in an IBM blade chassis. Learn how this provides the parallel procession of both types of processors with the front panel I/O options of A/Ds, DACs with 10 Giga Bit Ethernet and Infiniband network interfaces and IBM backplane connectivity. See exactly how all this processing power wrapped in a hot swappable, redundant power supply system while each card in the system, is self hosting.
