Making It Easier To Build Platforms That Support Confidential Computing


With the rise of the cloud, computation has become highly distributed. Workloads can be running on many compute nodes and often span multiple data centers. A workload consists of a combination of code and data, and both are often valuable and sensitive. A data center is often managed by a third-party, such as Cloud Service Provider (CSP), and may reside in a different legal jurisdiction to the ... » read more

Introducing Device Virtualization Principles For Real-Time Systems


The rising market share of electric vehicles and the reduction in combustion engines required in the future is transforming the automotive industry. One could think this would lead to a simplification in vehicle design, but with driver assistance technologies becoming a key differentiator, they are in fact becoming real "data centers on wheels." Furthermore, car drivers are used to a consumer-b... » read more
