Scott Hoot • Sage Electronic Engineering and AMD
Coprocessing is defined as the use of a special purpose unit to supplement the central processing unit; this concept has been a part of electronic computing almost from the beginning. This article explores the history of Coprocessing and how the evolution of 3D gaming is leading to an imminent revolution in computing.
Technical Needs and Challenges in Harbor Surveillance
GE Fanuc
This paper will look at traditional solutions to the implementation of a high frequency sonar system and compare them to one of the simpler solutions available with modern FPGA enabled hardware offerings. This comparison is especially relevant today since the requirement to detect small items in the water has expanded.
Fundamentals of System Modeling
Pathfinder Solutions
This paper outlines a solid foundation in core modeling skills for systems engineers building complex, high-performance systems with the SysML language. With a focus on modeling fundamentals, this paper outlines how teams can get started with proven techniques and a simple step-by-step approach.
