I’ve just been introduced to a new technological concept and capability I’d never even contemplated before, and now my poor old noggin is buzzing with ideas. Let me set the scene. Suppose you were to wake up in a huge cavern at the bottom of the world’s deepest mine (I hate it when that happens). Also, suppose there are multiple tunnels leading off in … Read More → "High-Precision Positioning in the World’s Deepest Mines and on the Moon"
In this week’s podcast I investigate VITA, MOSA, and mission critical distributed processing systems! My guest is Daniel Toohey from Mercury Systems. Daniel and I discuss the new VITA 100 standard, how MOSA aligns with VITA and the critical role that system management plays in distributed systems. I also check out new research that questions long-held assumptions about … Read More → "MOSA, VITA 100 and Mission Critical Processing Systems"
