Altia Discusses Low Cost Graphics Hardware Options in Embedded Computing Design

Friday, December 24th, 2010

In the August issue of Embedded Computing Design magazine, Peter Abowd, Altia President of Worldwide Automotive, and Jim Mikola, Senior Engineer for Altia, discuss inexpensive graphics hardware options and present a case for each. In “Contrasting sprites and GPUs and the HMI modeling approach.” Abowd and Mikola discuss the best scenarios for sprite and GPU and explain the challenges that design teams must consider when implementing these hardware options into their products.

This discussion is timely, as embedded displays are becoming pervasive – especially in automobiles. Automotive companies want to deliver exciting and media-rich instrument clusters and center stacks in their new products, but they must deliver these systems at a cost that will suit their bottom line. GPUs have been lighting up automotive displays for several years; the less expensive sprite controllers are new to automotive applications, so their capabilities might not be well understood. When making hardware selections for their new products, engineers and product managers need to carefully match their product requirements to their bill of materials – so being informed about inexpensive alternatives that are new to the game is critical. Ultimately, they want to deliver the most power and pizzazz at the lowest cost.

Because Altia is not tied to any semiconductor companies or technologies, and its tools are not constrained to one operating system, the company freely supports both technologies. Altia’s tools are proven with sprites and GPUs. Therefore, the goal of this discussion – and Altia’s mission as an automotive HMI engineering leader – is to help automotive designers get the best HMI running in their products on the best possible mechanism for their applications.

What are sprites and GPUs?

New to automotive display applications, a “sprite”, or sprite-based graphical controller, is semi-conductor chip whose graphical features and capabilities have been optimized to display previously created graphical images, such as icons, often referred to in computer graphics terms as sprites. These specialized types of graphical display controllers build full screen scenes from assembling the predefined pieces, or sprites, into specific locations. Different semi-conductor manufacturers provide varying additional features such as scaling, or blending the sprites, but all essentially require the image, or sprite, to be an already created, static image. Sprite chips assemble a screen each time the frame is clocked to the display (typically 60 times a second).

A graphics processing unit (GPU) renders its display image from a set of primitive graphical operations, which can be quite computationally intensive. A GPU would render a rectangle using line draw primitives, and apply a surface to the rectangle through various other methods and calculations. These are mathematically-intensive tasks, which otherwise, would put quite a strain on the CPU. The GPU lifts this burden from the CPU, freeing up cycles that can be used for other jobs. GPU chips assemble their screens only when the screen is constructed and the resulting framebuffer is clocked to the display.

Software Maintenance Implications on Cost and Schedule

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Abstract

The dictionary defines maintenance as, “The work of keeping something in proper order.” However, this definition does not necessarily fit for software. Software maintenance is different from hardware maintenance because software doesn’t physically wear out, but often gets less useful with age. Software is typically delivered with undiscovered flaws. Therefore, software maintenance is: “The process of modifying existing operational software while leaving its primary functions intact.” Maintenance typically exceeds fifty percent of the systems’ life cycle cost . While software maintenance can be treated as a level of effort activity, there are consequences on quality, functionality, reliability, cost and schedule that can be mitigated through the use of parametric estimation techniques.

1. INTRODUCTION

One of the greatest challenges facing software engineers is the management of change control. It has been estimated that the cost of change control can be between 40% and 70% of the life cycle costs . Software engineers have hoped that new languages and new process would greatly reduce these numbers; however this has not been the case. Fundamentally this is because software is still delivered with a significant number of defects. Capers Jones estimates that there are about 5 bugs per Function Point created during Development . Watts Humphrey found “… even experienced software engineers normally inject 100 or more defects per KSLOC . Capers Jones says, “A series of studies the defect density of software ranges from 49.5 to 94.5 errors per thousand lines of code .” The purpose of this article is to first review the fundamentals of software maintenance and to present alternative approaches to estimating software maintenance. A key element to note is that development and management decisions made during the development process can significantly affect the developmental cost and the resulting maintenance costs.

2. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance activities include all work carried out post-delivery and should be distinguished from block modifications which represent significant design and development effort and supersede a previously released software package. These maintenance activities can be quite diverse, and it helps to identify exactly what post-delivery activities are to be included in an estimate of maintenance effort. Maintenance activities, once defined, may be evaluated in a quite different light than when called simply “maintenance”. Software maintenance is different from hardware maintenance because software doesn’t physically wear out, but software often gets less useful with age and it may be delivered with undiscovered flaws. In addition to the undiscovered flaws, it is common that some number of known defects pass from the development organization to the maintenance group. Accurate estimation of the effort required to maintain delivered software is aided by the decomposition of the overall effort into the various activities that make up the whole process. (more…)
