I've been doing some work lately evaluating various Linux desktop environments on low-end hardware. I've put a lot of time into this and I've gotten some interesting results, so I thought I'd share ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

Laptops quietly monitor their own health, but most people never tap into the tools that can warn of trouble long before a crash or data loss. Built-in hardware diagnostics sit below the operating ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is a technique used to develop and test complex real-time embedded systems. HIL simulation provides an effective testing platform by adding the complexity of the ...

A battery management system (BMS) monitors and controls batteries in vehicles such as more-electric aircraft and electric cars. It needs to undergo rigorous tests under nominal and extreme conditions ...

Key elements that drive a battery-cell tester. Three main architectures used to construct a tester. Battery-cell testers are commercially available at many different levels of performance. Performance ...

Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulation and testing is a cutting-edge methodology that integrates actual power system components with high-fidelity computational models. This approach creates a ...

The amount of electronic content in passenger cars is growing rapidly, primarily due to the integration of advanced safety features. The shift towards fully autonomous vehicles, which must comply with ...

As Nvidia and AMD both released their latest generation of their graphics hardware, we decided that it might be time to upgrade our existing test bench here at MMORPG.com. In order to ensure our test ...

Electric and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (EVs and PHEVs) are helping the world end its dependence on fossil fuels while reducing the cost of transportation for their owners. But designing ...

We're certain many of you already have a solid understanding of how we perform CPU benchmarks, but as new people develop interest in PC tech and start to read our content, or content similar to ours, ...
