• Consumer Market Drives Advances in High-Performance Embedded Computing

  

  Military and aerospace sector reaps benefits from consumer-led technology developments. The military and aerospace market may be said to have started this situation, first as far back as the late-1970s with the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) that laid the groundwork for the packet-switch networks that, in turn, form the basis of today's Internet, then again with the 1980s Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program that established the blueprints for semiconductor design and manufacturing.
