7. GE Intelligent Platforms High Performance Embedded Computing imagination at work introduction Parallelism has been at the heart of supercomputing since the term was first used in the 1960s Today supercomputing has in many instances become high performance computing but instead of vast rooms full of mainframe computers all working together on the same problem high performance computing sees the deploy ment of numbers of server class machines each featuring multiple high performance processors configured in parallel And now high performance computing has come to the world of embedded systems and especially to the systems being developed and deployed by the world s armed forces To address the most demanding and sophisticated applications such as ISR and electronic warfare high performance embedded computing HPEC uses the power not just of multiple single board computers working together but also of multi core and many core processors Unique challenges But HPEC in the military arena presents a unique set of challenges in two key areas as result of how and where these solutions will be deployed The first of these is the need to ensure 100 reliability in what are often literally life and death situations in the face of extremes of shock vibration temperature and contaminants The second is that increas ingly these solutions are being deployed in environments that are small
