Debug technology supports TI's Keystone C66x DSPs
Lauterbach has announced that its TRACE32 debugging technology supports Trace for Texas Instruments KeyStone C66x DSP devices. The C66x series includes a wide range of high performance microprocessors. The processing capability of the multicore platform is designed to be optimal for applications in markets such as industrial automation, high performance computing, mission critical, video infrastructure and high-end imaging.
Accurately estimate behavioural characteristics in real time
Hitachi has developed a technology which can accurately measure human behaviour and estimate attributes (characteristics) in real time. By analysing 3D data obtained from a stereo camera, human behaviour can be measured accurately, in real time, even in a crowded space, which used to be difficult with 2D image data from conventional surveillance cameras.
ARM CoreLink system IP enables next-gen heterogeneous SoCs
Designed to enhance system performance and efficiency in next-gen premium mobile devices, ARM has announced new CoreLink system IP. The CoreLink CCI-550 interconnect enables ARM big.LITTLE processing and a fully coherent GPU while lowering latency and increasing peak throughput while the CoreLink DMC-500 memory controller provides higher bandwidth and latency response for processors and display.
