We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Multiprocessor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release VME64 board handles harsh operating environments from
Concurrent Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Well suited to conduction-cooled applications within the transportation, industrial control, telemetry, defence, security and aerospace markets".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Modular FPGA and DSP power goes industrial from
Sundance Multiprocessor Technology: "Analogue interface module is redesigned with industrial-rated components and a new thermal design that doubles as a Faraday cage for shielding purposes".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Hitex Development Tools
concerning its Tessy
- take a look at Software testing aids safety compliance
which says: "Tessy is a tool designed specifically to automate the module/unit testing of embedded software".
Take a look also at the news release from STMicroelectronics, Set-top decoder targets low-cost box market,
as well as Compact computer puts processor on CompactFlash from C Data Solutions,
and MicroTCA platform is made for multiprocessing from Kontron UK.
