By Dr. Aljosa Vrancic and Jeff Meisel, National Instruments
In this three part series, Dr. Algosa Vrancic and Jeff Meisel presents findings that demonstrate how a novel approach with Intel hardware and software technology is allowing for real-time high-performance computing (HPC) in order to solve engineering problems with multi-core processors that were not possible only five years ago.
* Part 1 is a review of real-time concepts that are important for understanding this domain of engineering problems, and a comparison of traditional HPC with real-time HPC.
* Part 2 outlines software architecture approaches for utilizing multi-core processors, along with cache optimizations.
* This Part 3 considers industry examples that employ this particular methodology.
Industry Examples
The following industry examples show how real-time HPC is being applied today, in many cases where only five years ago the computational results would not be achievable. All of these examples were developed with the LabVIEW programming language to take advantage of multi-core technology.
