Web Seminar: Optimizing Performance In Embedded Applications Using System Tracing Tools Join QNX® Software Systems for a technical web seminar that examines how system tracing tools can be used to gain critical insight into system behavior. OS tools manager Thomas Fletcher will provide an overview of tracing and instrumentation and how these techniques can be used to identify bottlenecks and correct system errors. Software developer Colin Burgess will then present a case study on using system tracing tools to optimize performance in an in-vehicle system with tight timing requirements and limited CPU resources. Mr. Burgess will look at areas such as startup sequence, component streamlining, misinterpreted specifications, and resource contention. Attend this session to learn:

QNX First RTOS Vendor To Offer Native Support For 3D Graphics With release 6.3 of the QNX Neutrino RTOS, QNX becomes the first RTOS vendor to offer native support for 3D graphics and multi-layer user interfaces. This integrated support not only helps embedded developers get up and running quickly, but, unlike other offerings, saves OEMs the costs and integration hassles of purchasing third-party 3D software and technical support. Optimized for in-car navigation systems, process control applications, medical instruments, and other mission-critical embedded devices, QNX’s new 3D support can work with or without a windowing system, giving developers flexibility and control over their memory footprint. Moreover, it’s based on the Mesa 3D library, an open-source implementation of the OpenGL standard that allows developers to leverage a rich pool of 3D programming expertise and source code.
