The very survival and growth of these companies is dependent on this ecosystem network around them. The ecosystem thrives on stakeholders mutually benefiting from each other while contributing to growth of the ecosystem itself. Every now and then business growth of such big companies with powerful ecosystems of their own is disrupted by relatively small players when incumbents have to respond. Intel, world's largest semiconductor company, has seen tremendous growth in its business since its inception. While Intel focused on continuously innovating and delivering great products for the personal computer industry, it chose not to compete in low margin embedded computing markets. Advanced RISC Machines (ARM Holdings Ltd.), a small semiconductor company during early nineties developed architecture for low power embedded computing markets that with time became the dominant architecture for mobile computing. As demand in the personal computer industry and consumer interest shifted towards portable and mobile computers, Intel delivered products for these markets. In recent years Intel, the incumbent is being threatened by ARM, the disruptor because mobile embedded platforms based on ARM architecture have encroached Intel's territory. Intel at the same time has its sight at the high growth embedded markets dominated by ARM. Today, both these players with their mature ecosystems are facing each other as they try to enter each other's territories. This Thesis analyses this classic battle for ecosystem leadership for embedded markets by Intel and ARM. Software and platform leadership is analyzed in detail and an Ecosystem strategy for Intel to drive adoption of its embedded solutions is devised in later chapters. / by Prashant Paliwal. / S.M.in Engineering and Management

This study analyzes the apologies presented by Intel Corporation as a response to the Pentium™ microprocessor controversy. Dr. Andrew Grove's November 27,1994, Internet posting to the comp.sys.intel usegroup and Intel's December 20,1994, press release are analyzed using the methods of genre criticism. Further, a situational analysis is presented of the exigence and the audience. The exigence is represented by the relationship of society to technology while the audience is Internet users. This analysis attempts to demonstrate how situational factors constrain discourse related to technological flaws.

An effective tool used by planners and policy makers in public health, such as Center for Disease Control (CDC), to curtail spread of infectious diseases over a given population is contagion diffusion simulations. These simulations model the relevant characteristics of the population (age, gender, income etc.) and the disease (attack rate, etc.) and compute the spread under various configuration and plausible intervention strategies (such as vaccinations, school closure, etc.). Hence, the model and the computation form a complex agent based system and are highly compute and resource intensive. In this work, we design a benchmark consisting of several kernels which capture the essential compute, communication, and data access patterns for such applications. For each kernel, the benchmark provides different evaluation strategies. The goal is to (a) derive alternative implementations for computing the contagion by combining different implementation of the kernels, and (b) evaluate which combination of implementation, runtime, and hardware is most effective in running large scale contagion diffusion simulations. Our proposed benchmark is designed using C++ generic programming primitives and lifting sequential strategies for parallel computations. Together, these lead to a succinct description of the benchmark and significant code reuse when deriving strategies for new hardware. For the benchmark to be effective, this aspect is crucial, because the potential combination of hardware and runtime are growing rapidly thereby making infeasible to write optimized strategy for the complete contagion diffusion from ground up for each compute system. / Master of Science

Dagens enkortsdatorer skiljer sig mycket i hårdvara. Prestandamässigt skiljer sig dessutom datorerna åt beroende på vilket operativsystem som används samt vilket programmeringsspråk och bibliotek som används för I/O kommunikation. Vi har testat Raspberry Pi 3 och Intel Galileo Gen 2 med operativsystemen Linux och Windows 10 IoT Core. Program för att mäta tidsåtgång vid digitala läsningar, digitala skrivningar, analoga läsningar, uppstart och skrivning till SD-kort har utvecklats. Resultaten från dessa visar stora skillnader mellan systemen och vilket som lämpar sig bäst beroende på tillämpning. Operativsystem, programmeringsspråk och bibliotek har valts med tanke på en övergång från Arduino-system som arbetar i realtid. Tester har därför också utförts på enkortsdatorn Arduino Mega 2560 för att ge en uppfattning om vad en sådan övergång skulle innebära. / The single-board computers of today differ greatly in hardware. Performance-wise the computers also differ depending on what operating system and what programming language with certain libraries that are being used for I/O communication. We have tested Raspberry Pi 3 and Intel Galileo Gen 2 with the operating systems Linux and Windows 10 IoT Core. Programs to measure the time it takes to perform the actions of digital writing, digital reading, analog reading, booting the system and writing to an SD-card have been developed. The results show big difference between the systems and what system to use for what purpose. Operating systems, programming languages and libraries have been chosen with consideration for a transfer from Arduino systems operating in real-time. Tests have also been conducted on the singleboard computer Arduino Mega 2560 to provide an understanding on what such a transfer would entail.
