Edge-based analytics using general-purpose processors
Increasing demand for bandwidth at the network edge is driving the need for easily programmable, low-cost signal processing systems that can scale as data volumes grow. This is leading to the deployment of general-purpose processors in domains traditionally occupied by digital signal processor (DSP) and FPGA devices, with off-the-shelf module vendors innovating on low-latency interconnect architectures and middleware solutions that unlock the value of commercial processors in the mobile and machine-to-machine (M2M) era.

Enhanced network security protects war-fighters' platforms
IP has demonstrated vulnerabilities to a number of different attack types at routers, switches, and servers. Consequently, this is where COTS vendors' products can be used to advantage, introducing defensive technologies to protect sensitive network assets.
