Thermal Management in Rugged Computer Systems from Electronic Design
Ivan Straznicky talks about the challenges of keeping rugged computer systems designed for military programs cool under harsh conditions as they grow more powerful and more complex.
How Embedded Systems are Coping with the Heat of Today's Avionics
With faster processors, more functions, and higher bandwidth than ever before, today’s avionics are pushing the cooling technology envelope to the breaking point – and beyond.
Today’s Military Data Storage Goes Far Beyond Rugged
It’s not just about shielding data drives from shock and vibration; designers also are looking for the latest in speed and capacity, and want encryption to protect data at rest, and security to foil tampering.
Until recently, the use of moving liquid to remove excess heat from embedded computing processors was considered an expensive and unreliable luxury, but escalating demand and maturing technologies finally are putting this technology within reach.
