The Industrial Internet is an emerging communication infrastructure that connects people, data, and machines to enable access and control of mechanical devices in unprecedented ways. It connects machines embedded with sensors and sophisticated software to other machines (and end users) to extract data, make sense of it, and find meaning where it did not exist before.

This is where TIs new multicore SoCs offer a unique alternative to existing solutions. Based on TIs scalable KeyStone architecture featuring high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processors, TIs latest TMS320C66x DSP cores and built-in Ethernet switching can enable more efficient servers for a wide variety of industries.

The Seahawk hard macro is a Quad-core Cortex-A15 implemented in the TSMC 28hpm process.

It is designed to operate at frequencies close to 2 GHz & has DVFS & retention capabilities built in.

The advances in in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) and advanced driver assistance technology encompasses a wide variety of connectivity, graphics, and sensor technologies. Time to market pressures place significant demands on developers to provide more entertainment options and communications capabilities while continuing to enhance driver and passenger safety and awareness.

The next-generation Intel Atom processor codenamed Bay Trail is a true system-on-chip (SoC) family for Intelligent Systems. This product family features the new Intel Silvermont microarchitecture with up to four re-architected CPU cores, an advanced new Intel GMA graphics engine, integrated I/O for various embedded uses, integrated media and security accelerators all on a low-power 22nm device that enables smaller, lighter, power efficient designs.

Agile methods have proven their value in IT and enterprise software development and are now increasingly being applied to embedded systems and product development. This raises new challenges for organizations, including dealing with diverse engineering disciplines, complex supply chains, and contractual and regulatory constraints.

Do the boring, repetitive tasks associated with product development put a dent in your creativity? As a chief engineer, systems engineer, software engineer, or electrical engineer do you spend too much time searching for engineering data relevant to the task or decision at hand? Do bad things happen when you dont find the right data or get a complete answer? When building reports or documents, does it simply take too much effort and time to pull all the data together and get it in a common format? And when an engineering change is proposed is it difficult to assemble information about all of the potentially impacted subsystems and the artifacts that define them?

However, it is extremely challenging to address data interoperability, safety, security and integration with other systems in today's healthcare environment. As data volume grows and becomes increasingly valuable, these issues will affect system and data architecture, especially with the rise of smart analytics used to improve the quality of treatment.

The movement toward mobile computing is driving innovation in processor technology from networking performance to high definition graphics. Processors and the systems they drive are becoming a unique mix of low power, high performance, feature-rich systems.

The Internet revolutionized how people communicate, what they do, and how they work together. The revolution is not done.
