Curtiss-Wright Controls Adds Event Analysis Tool to CHAMP-AV8 Continuum Insights™ Multiprocessor Tool Suite
ASHBURN, VA – February 25, 2013 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions (CWCDS), a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has announced the addition of a powerful new Event Analysis tool to its CHAMP-AV8 Continuum Insights™ 5.1 suite of GUI-based system monitoring, system management and multi-processor debug software tools for developers of application software for multiprocessor embedded multicomputer systems.
The new Continuum Insights Event Analysis tool provides a multi-node extension of Wind River’s System Viewer, enabling it to show events from many processing nodes operating in parallel. This type of capability is essential to high performance embedded computing (HPEC) developers seeking to debug or optimize code.
“With the addition of its new Event Analysis tool, Continuum Insights™ extends its established leading position as the most fully featured suite of tools for VxWorks HPEC development,” said Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions. “With the rapid adoption of OpenVPX™ and its seamless scalability to over 100 CPU cores in a single 19” enclosure, the Event Analysis Tools’ ability to reduce software development cost and schedule risk is invaluable to developers.”
About Continuum Insights™
Continuum Insights is a suite of software tools that aid software development for multi-processor systems. Continuum Insights provides programmers visibility into the entire system via the collection of critical, periodic, non-intrusive, real-time data. Continuum Insights provides the level of information needed by developers of complex systems to accurately tune their system and shorten costly development time.
Continuum Insights is built using the Wind River WorkBench and Eclipse™ Development and Application Frameworks, which draw from the open source community for open development platforms and ensures maximum compatibility with industry leading Integrated Development Environments. Continuum Insights furthers Curtiss-Wright’s COTS Continuum product architecture by harnessing the advantages of complementary Continuum products such as Continuum BSP, Continuum Vector Signal Processing Libraries, and Continuum IPC Inter-Processor Communication Library. Continuum Insights is supported on Curtiss-Wright's VPX-based SBCs, DSP and FPGA engines including the CHAMP-AV8, CHAMP-FX3 and VPX6-6902.
Continuum Insights Features:
Event Analysis Tool
The Continuum Insights Event Analysis Tool collects and displays operating system level events, driver-level events, and user-defined events across multiple processors and cores within a system, all accurately time aligned using a common time-base. Because the event data is collected in real-time, Continuum Insights enables developers to debug and verify critical interactions between tasks among multiple processor and cores.
System Monitoring Tool
The Continuum Insights System Monitoring tool provides a hierarchical, graphical representation of a multicomputer system. System and health information are updated in real-time providing displays of processing threads, utilization, task allocations, and processor-level and system-level configuration information.
Price and Availability
Pricing for Continuum Insights is based on each project per site. There are no run-time royalties, and no per developer seat charges.
