Specify an external reference clock to improve SERDES performance 10/21/2009

Various serial data standards require different clock specifications.

Keep it simple, stupid, and kiss problems goodbye 10/8/2009

Tales From The Cube: When solving a design dilemma, sometimes less is more.

Hands-On Project: Speaking of porting software 8/6/2009

This software-porting hands-on experiment uncovers a potential audio decoder for embedded-system applications, adding audio or speech to the applications' user interfaces.

Choosing between an ARM7 and a Cortex-M3 processor 7/28/2009

The Cortex-M3 offers compelling features over the ARM7, but the ARM7 currently has a larger manufacturer and tools ecosystem.

Designing a multicore + coprocessor security system 7/24/2009

Network and communications processors are moving to heterogeneous processor configurations for efficiency, cost, and best-of-breed flexibility.

FPGA verification in embedded video-processing systems 7/9/2009

FPGAs can be great at video processing, but verifying FPGA-based video systems requires careful attention to your approach.

Mobile device security through virtualization 7/1/2009

Tee up your multiprocessing options 6/11/2009

A good processor taxonomy helps you understand processing architectures' sweet spots. You should probably look at multicore options in the same way.

Multicore programming: easy or difficult? 3/25/2009

Many commentators are concerned that efficiently and correctly porting existing code onto platforms with four or more cores is beyond the capabilities of many engineers. Others simply state that this is a solved problem and that mature SMP operating systems and threading libraries already exist and are well understood. So who is right?
