A system-on-chip (SoC), as its name implies, is an entire computer system or platform integrated onto a single device or integrated circuit. Within the circuit, an SoC includes a central processing unit (CPU), a graphical processing unit (GPU), memory,
Computer component performance rapidly evolves, with faster central and graphical processing units (CPUs and GPUs), faster and larger system memory (RAM), more robust system bus technology, and enhanced input and output interfaces. All these things have
While Windows remains the dominant operating system (OS) for most PC-based tasks, Linux has established itself as a superior operating system for applications that require the highest reliability, security, and performance, such as defense, security,
It’s always a balancing act trying to get what you need without wasting money by acquiring too much. Choosing the right amount of memory for an industrial PC running Windows 10 or Ubuntu is no exception. How much is enough? The short answer is:
It’s common practice in industrial computing to customize I/O using plug-in cards with a standardized motherboard interface. But many approaches, especially those adapted from desktop computing, make compromises in size, height, or ruggedness. Not
USB connectivity has been present in our computing lives since the late 1990s, and the interface has become the most versatile connectivity option in modern-day computing. The most recent evolutions in the standard have resulted in increased bandwidth
Large-scale industrial control systems are moving from centralized control to edge-based computing. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are providing control approaches that promise greater efficiency and precision. These
Quite quickly and not so quietly, AI has become a standard part of everyday life. Cell phones respond seamlessly to voice commands, enhance captured images, and automatically gather and curate useful information such as favorite calls and texting patterns.
System memory is a vital component of every industrial computing system, helping to ensure that processing tasks run optimally day in, day
