GrammaTech’s Team TECHx Places Second in DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge

Las Vegas / Ithaca,  USA, August 9, 2016 — GrammaTech and its partner the University of Virginia took second place in DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge finale, showcasing next-generation technologies for software vulnerability discovery and application hardening.

GrammaTech’s team competed with Xandra – its high-performance, scalable system that harnessed 2400 cores to power 210 high-performance fuzzing pods capable of 1.8M fuzzing ops per second and feeding a dedicated bank of binary analyzers, patch generators, and binary rewriters to repair and protect binaries. Xandra performed steadily throughout the event, staying consistently in the top of the leaderboard … Read More → "GrammaTech’s Team TECHx Places Second in DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge"

Pentair delivers the first 100 Gbps Schroff AdvancedTCA backplane

WARWICK, R.I. – At the end of 2014, the IEEE association adopted the IEEE802.3bj specification for 100 Gbps Ethernet. Among other things, the specification details the requirements for a 100 Gbps transmission path in printed circuit boards. Since its adoption, PICMG has defined the 100 Gbps requirements for AdvancedTCA backplanes and blades. Pentair introduces its first 100 Gbps Schroff AdvancedTCA backplane, verified according to the design requirements of the IEEE802.3bj specifications for 100 Gbps Ethernet.

The high data transmission rates of 100 Gbps presented new challenges for connectors, printed circuit board material and backplane design.
