Continuum Insights

Overview

Continuum Insights™ is a suite of software tools that aid the software development for multi-processor systems. Insights provides programmers visibility into the entire system via the collection of critical, periodic, non-intrusive, real-time data. Continuum Insights provides the level of information needed by developers of complex systems to accurately tune their system and shorten costly development time.

Continuum Insights is built using the Eclipse™ Development and Application Frameworks, which draws from the open source community for open development platforms and ensures maximum compatibility with industry leading Integrated Development Environments.

Continuum Insights furthers Curtiss-Wrights COTS Continuum product architecture by harnessing the advantages of complementary Continuum products such as Continuum Firmware & BSP™, Continuum Vector™, and Continuum IPC™. Continuum Insights is supported on Curtiss-Wright's VPX based SBCs, DSP and FPGA engines including the CHAMP-AV6, the VPX6-185, the HPE720 and CHAMP-FX2 products.

Continuum Insights Features:

Event Analysis Tool
The Continuum Insights Event Analysis Tool collects and displays operating system-level events, driver-level events, and user-defined events across multiple processors and cores within a system, all accurately time aligned using a common time-base.  Because the event data is collected in real-time, Continuum Insights enables developers to debug and verify critical interactions between tasks among multiple processor and cores.

System Monitoring Tool
The System Monitoring tool provides a hierachical, graphical representation of a multicomputer system.  System and health information are updated in real-time providing displays of processing threads, utilization, task allocations, and processor-level and system-level configuration information.

Network Fabric Analysis Tool
The Network Fabric Analysis Tool visualizes the systems SRIO topology and routing information.  Users can assess fabric performance and locate system-breaking bottlenecks. The tool provides capability to customize SRIO routing parameters to maximize system performance.

Multi-processor Debugger
The Multi-processor Debugger extends the capabilities of traditional single processor source debugging tools by allowing multiple processors to participate in a single debugging session. The entire multicomputer, or a subset of processors, can be configured and debugged together to reduce setup configuration time and eliminate side effects of running applications affecting the processor under observation.
