The article
talk about Bosch has build a team of technologists to develop a system to
support autonomous driving. They creating a platform that provide developers
with opportunities to work together and developed the minicomputer or embedded
system for the driverless cars. Currently, the driving functions require about
70 minicomputers, or embedded system to make sure the function can be monitored
and regulated. It is a long way and difficult thing to make a car become to fully
autonomous driving, they will need a lot of software and system to help them
build the whole function. They decided to use several central processing units
rather than the single-core systems, because the CPUs working in parallel is
faster and will help the minicomputers have more power to achieve the function.
There are two forms for the parallel CPU system, multi-core processors and
many-core processors. The team is planning on the open-source Eclipse project
and it will provide an opportunity to make sure the developers can touch with each
other. Bosch also hope the engineers will develop both multi-core system and
many- core systems for their application based on the open-source Eclipse they
created.
From this
article, I learned a lot. System development is a long process of designing,
testing and implementing a new software application or program. The system can
be customized and connect with other system to achieve a fancy function. The
developers have to work together to build the system to make sure every step is
correct during the system development life, the planning, analysis, design,
implementation and maintenance.
