美国国家仪器在NIWeek 2007上聚焦图形可编程软件犹如一位天才画家在画布上勾勒出嵌入式开发的美
在第13届NIWeek年度虚拟仪器会议上，美国国家仪器的创始人之一James Truchard博士带来了精彩的演讲，他讨论了如何利用图形可编程软件NI LabVIEW来提升系统设计，并揭示了公司利用下一代可编程技术开发软件的计划。在此次盛会中，Truchard还推出了最新版本的LabVIEW 8.5，这是一款图形化开发环境，其新特性包括新的Statechart模块、改进后的FPGA模块以及独特的多核心与实时编程功能。
Tech Talk: How NI LabVIEW Simplifies System Design and Prepares for Future Multicore Challenges
In his keynote speech, Truchard discussed how the graphical programming platform of NI LabVIEW can be effectively applied to design parallel applications on multicore processors, simplify multithreaded operations, and utilize its intrinsic parallel dataflow language to simplify FPGA-based application development.
Truchard highlighted that with multicore processors becoming the norm, there is an increasing demand for parallel programming languages that can take advantage of the speed benefits offered by these fast processors. He emphasized that LabVIEW's inherent multithreading structure makes it well-suited for this purpose.
"Given the increasing need for parallel programming languages to leverage the speed benefits of multicore processors," said Truchard in his talk, "LabVIEW is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge."
