Easing the embedded processor balancing act
May 21, 2012 by Guest Blogger
Designing low-power computing devices is typically a balancing act between power, performance and cost. You need maximum performance with minimal power, but that’s not your only concern. For instance, you might need to fit a solution into a small form factor while ensuring it won’t overheat, or you’re tasked with keeping both costs and battery weight down in a portable device.

Ruggedizing the AMD Embedded G-Series APUs for Demanding Industrial Applications
April 10, 2012 by Guest Blogger
The embedded market isn’t traditionally associated with high-end graphics, but modern applications have become a lot more demanding in that respect. Whether it’s passenger information systems in public transportation showing HD video content, processing of high resolution video surveillance footage, medical imaging devices or massive multi-display installations in control rooms, there is a growing need for dedicated GPUs to handle the workload. Since a small form factor is often essential for industrial computer systems, the AMD APU concept of “a CPU and GPU on a single chip” makes them the natural choice to meet such challenges.
