PCIe/104 – The ‘fishal’ recognition revolution in fish counting
Fish-count surveys are vital in ensuring the conservation and management of fish stocks in our increasingly over-fished seas. The accuracy of those surveys being critical in providing evidence of over-fishing to drive restorative and preventative legislation. Traditional fish-counting is inherently manual, relying on fishing trawlers casting enormous nets into the ocean, pulling aboard as many [...]

How to build a PCIe/104 system
In 2008 the ever prominent PC/104 Consortium injected fresh life into their long established PC/104 stackable format; foreseeing the industry decline in PCI bus derived peripheral components in favour of the ‘new kid on the block’ PCI Express – enter the PCIe/104. Unlike its predecessors, ISA and PCI, PCI Express is actually not a bus [...]

‘C’ lands on FPGAs to make embedded multicore computing a reality
Through intense innovation and development, the primary face of embedded computing has changed constantly throughout the decades, but it’s only relatively recently that parallel processing by means of multiple processor cores has even been possible. Some have argued that the single-purpose nature of embedded computers rendered multicore processing unattractive, and it’s true that even today [...]
