	VMETRO VMETRO continues VPX momentum with addition of 3U VITA 46 FPGA Processing Engine VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions based on standards such as VXS, VPX, XMC and FMC that utilize multi-gigabit serial interconnects, today announced the industry´s first 3U VPX FPGA processing engine w... VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions based on standards such as VXS, VPX, XMC and FMC that utilize multi-gigabit serial interconnects, today announced the industry´s first 3U VPX FPGA processing engine with support for the new FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC/VITA 57) standard. The FPE320 incorporates the largest available Xilinx® Virtex®-5 FPGAs and an onboard FMC mezzanine site. This combination of high-performance FPGA processing and the flexibility of FMC-based I/O in a air- or conduction-cooled 3U VPX package is ideal for demanding real-time applications such as Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), and UAV sensor acquisition. In 3U systems, physical board size has limited the use of large FPGAs with larger I/O m...	Full version Date: Sep 25, 2008
	Adacore GNAT Academic Program Celebrates Its 150th University Member AdaCore welcomes the 150th member to the GNAT Academic Program (GAP), demonstrating the success of the company´s grass-roots initiative created to help bring Ada to the forefront of university study.... New York and Newcastle, United Kingdom, September 22, 2008 - SAFECOMP 2008 - AdaCore, provider of the highest quality Ada tools and support, today welcomed the 150th member to the GNAT Academic Program (GAP), demonstrating the success of the company´s grass-roots initiative created to help bring Ada to the forefront of university study. The reliability of Ada as a programming language has always ensured it a key role in safety-critical domains, such as defense and aerospace. Today, however, as software plays an increasingly central role in all areas of life, from managing global financial marketplaces to operating medical devices, the need for safe software and engineers capable of producing it is expected to rise. The GAP Package, which AdaCore provides to the GAP communit...	Full version Date: Sep 23, 2008
