National Instruments is joining the Multicore Association, a global non-profit organisation focused on developing standards that help shorten time to market for products involving multicore implementations. As a member of the association, National Instruments is collaborating with leading technology companies including Intel, Freescale Semiconductor and Wind River to improve the interoperability among operating systems, hardware and software development tools. Engineers and scientists can therefore benefit from the performance improvements offered by multicore technology.
Markus Levy, President of the Multicore Association, says: “National Instruments has a commanding and diverse knowledge of multicore technology from a software, hardware and operating system perspective. Its experience and leadership in developing products that can take advantage of this technology makes National Instruments a valuable contributor to the Multicore Association’s efforts to define the standards for multicore applications.”
