Enterprise Whitepapers
Software can be dangerous. We use software for controlling aircraft, missiles, hospital equipment and more. Business and security-critical software is used for our companies, too, and should require the same tough quality review process that is expected of high-risk systems. Principal Analyst Bola Rotibi from Macehiter Ward-Dutton explains how static analysis can be used for improved software quality. In this whitepaper, she also gives practical advice for reviewing and selecting static analysis tools. Utilizing static analysis for in your software development process will not only improve the quality of your software but will help reduce maintenance costs by reducing defects early in the software lifecycle.

C Programming in Linux Tutorial: Many applications developed for Linux suffer performance degradation from symbol preemption, which is used by some developers of shared objects. We have described the problem, characterized the sort of applications most affected by it, and proposed the use of compiler options for the Intel compiler and GCC that reduce these performance problems by exploiting ELF symbol visibility features. more>
Embedded Real Time Operating System Design: Linux and QNX gained notoriety because of the obvious potential for both as the operating systems and development platforms for Web appliances. Linux had mostly been used as a server OS and QNX mainly as an industrial embedded real time operating system (RTOS). Linux and QNX can be used for developing smaller, more capable portable devices. This paper will brief you the embedded development capabilities of Linux and QNX for real time operating system design. more>

The technology of computer gaming is undergoing a major conceptual shift: a shift to multi-threaded engines running on multi-core processors. Multi-core processors are powering the next generation of PCs and gaming consoles, and game developers want to target as many of these platforms as possible. Unfortunately, threaded execution and cross-platform support are non-trivial, and many developers find it difficult to get these features into their own code. more>
