One-button MATLAB-to-C Conversion
In the past, converting MATLAB algorithms into C code required manual translation--a slow, error-prone process. Now, you can generate C automatically using Catalytic MCS. Here's how it works.

Ada Enhances Embedded-systems Development
Developing an embedded system is hard work. Reliability is essential; indeed, embedded software may control a safety- or security-critical system where an error can have catastrophic consequences. New requirements will almost surely pop up, so the software must be maintain- able. Real-time constraints and memory limitations make time and space predictability and run-time performance important. Many embedded systems comprise activities that are performed concurrently, either with actual parallelism or through multiplexing on a single processor. And most deal at some point with hardware-specific details like interrupt handling and data layout.
