It's nearly impossible to use power efficiently enough to eliminate waste heat altogether. Enhancing efficiency can help reduce waste heat -- but only to a degree.

Embedded computing designers squeeze the most out of conduction, convection, and liquid cooling, and look to the future of disaggregated architectures and 3D printing.

High data throughput and innovative thermal management may lead to a revolution in systems design that places the burden of electronics cooling on the enclosure more than on the card.

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

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.

The electrical charge stored in a flash memory cell degrades over time, and will degrade much faster at extended temperatures.

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.

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.
