Taken to the extreme, today’s high-end graphics processors (GPUs) can execute thousands of simultaneous operations, which is fundamental for highly parallel 3D visualizations and complex AI [artificial intelligence] processing tasks.

Power, reliability and real-time computing capabilities are just some of the advantages of using multicore processors.

TSN is a set of standards and capabilities that enable hard real-time use cases over standard Ethernet networks.

Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of Ethernet networking capabilities used to transmit time-sensitive data across standard Ethernet networks. Originally, TSN grew out of the IEEE 802.1 standard working groups on Audio Video Bridging (AVB) to make sure that independent networks streams for audio and video data arrive at the correct times to ensure synchronization.

Top commanders seek to embed EW capability at virtually all echelons as warfighters seek to make up for years of lost time.

5G wireless communications is expected to move voice, video, text, and image data with bandwidth as fast as 300 GHz to create data on demand for the battlefield.

Today’s embedded-system designers have a great variety of processor types to select from, with FPGAs and GPUs adding their own various advantages and disadvantages for consideration in contrast to the more familiar CPUs.

Protecting a military platform’s secret data-in-motion as it’s routed over an Ethernet-based IP network has become significantly easier, more affordable, and faster to deploy in recent years, thanks to U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) support of commercial encryption technologies.
