Linux multiprocessor systems upgrade Aussie subs
The Australian subsidiary of Concurrent Computer Corp Integrated Solutions Division has delivered high-performance iHawk multiprocessor systems to Raytheon Australia in New South Wales.
Compatible with the popular Red Hat Linux distribution, RedHawk Linux features high I/O throughput, fast response to external events, and optimised interprocess communication.
Concurrent's iHawk platform is used by leading aerospace and defence companies worldwide.
A proven, reliable platform, the iHawk is a platform to simulate real-world missions for the purpose of pilot flight training, weapons training, battle mission planning, driving simulation, and visual systems.
Concurrent's ImaGen platform features the latest, industry-standard components from leading graphics suppliers, ensuring that application developers will have access to the best possible COTS IG solutions.
ImaGen servers feature multiple Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors and a range of tower or rack-mount enclosures.
Typical ImaGen imaging applications include civil and military simulation, mission planning, homeland security, scientific and medical visualisation, architectural design, energy exploration and entertainment.
iHawk systems also support Concurrent's powerful set of NightStar development tools.
Users can schedule, monitor, debug, and analyse their real-time applications on iHawk multiprocessor systems or remotely from a desktop PC or laptop.
Each tool runs on the iHawk target system in a nonintrusive manner, thus preserving the deterministic characteristics of the real-time application.
NightStar tools are specifically designed to allow integrators to intelligently identify problems early in the project life cycle - and correct them faster.
"We congratulate Lockheed Martin in the win of a fiercely competitive contract bid", said Warren Neuburger, Concurrent Chief Operating Officer.
"We are honoured that Lockheed has once again chosen Concurrent to deliver the highly deterministic technology solutions required for such mission-critical applications and are proud that our real-time solutions play a role in support of our national defense".
