From Quality Assurance to Total Quality Management: the Future of Automated Test Standardization

Design verification and quality assurance processes are the backbone of successful product development. Whatever the product, the ultimate goals are the same: to reduce development costs and accelerate time to market without affecting product quality.

Linux Kernel Tuning for IP Version 6 Networking

This paper describes the procedure for enhancing the Linux operating system with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) networking feature. This paper also describes the linux kernel with IPV6 networking support, booting linux desktop machines with new IPV6 network supportive kernel, and its graphical representation. This paper lists the procedure to test the IPv6 enabled linux desktop kernel. The resultant IPv6 enabled linux kernels scale over Internet Protocol version 4 linux kernels in terms of built-in security support (IPSEC), efficient routing, address auto configuration, automated network (router) renumbering, and built in mobility support(MIPv6).

Freescale QorIQ Embedded Multicore Platforms

Freescale Semiconductor recently introduced the QorIQ multicore platforms. The QorIQ platforms are the next-generation evolution of Freescale's PowerQUICC processor line and are designed to help developers migrate to multicore with confidence. QorIQ platforms include single, dual and many core processors — all based on Freescale's e500 Power Architecture technology. The platforms start with the P1 and P2 levels, which consist of five package-, pin- and software-compatible processors designed to ease the transition from single- to dual-core processing. The P3 and P4 platforms enable developers to move into the 'many core' arena and address more advanced processing needs. The P5 platform is designed to deliver Freescale's highest-performing solutions well within embedded power budgets. All of the QorIQ platforms are equipped with extensive programming support to help developers get the most out of their multicore implementations.
