SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES TRACK Multicore Programming in C Learn how to harness the power of dual-core and multicore processors in real time by implementing parallel programming strategies, assigning threads to specific processors, taking advantage of processor load balancing, and performing multicore execution tracing. Wendy Logan, Product Manager, National Instruments Raw Data to Results – Proper Data Management Techniques Hot Topic Learn how to move quickly from raw data collection to usable engineering results with NI software for managing measurement data, mining, analysis, and reporting. Explore different data management strategies and how to use the latest NI software features to expand your approach to multiple groups or departments within your organization. Caroline Bright, Product Manager, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 12B Thursday, August 7 Multithreaded, Multiuser Web Application Architecture Uncover a difficult architectural problem on supporting multiple users from a Web application running a LabVIEW application that integrates multiple instances of Multisim for interactive electronic part SPICE modeling. Learn how LabVIEW can service 15,000 hits a year. Erik Goethert, Program Manager, Boston Engineering 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 12A Real-World Applications for Freshman Engineering Education The Introduction to Engineering freshman course in the electrical engineering department at Arizona State University introduces students to the design and implementation of exciting real-world applications using NI products such as NI ELVIS, LabVIEW, and NI SPEEDY-33. Learn how the students are introduced to fundamental electrical and computer engineering concepts through these applications. Lina Karam, Associate Professor, and Naji Mounsef, Graduate Research Associate, Arizona State University Wednesday, August 6 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. Room 12A Object-Oriented Software Design with a View toward Testability Object-oriented programming (OOP) has long benefited developers in writing extensible, scalable, and maintainable applications. Programmers new to OOP immediately recognize the power of inheritance by reusing components, but few see the benefit of polymorphism. View demonstrations of the OOP mechanism in LabVIEW using one application to both control hardware and run a test simulator sans hardware. Michael Piehler, Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Boeing Thursday, August 7 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 11B Real-World Measurements with LabVIEW SignalExpress LabVIEW SignalExpress offers a quick software solution for communicating with hardware, performing analysis, and logging data without programming expertise required. Learn how to use LabVIEW SignalExpress to perform a variety of real-world tasks while exploring many new features. Simon Hogg, Product Manager, and Christophe Restat, Senior Software Engineer, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. Room 12A Optimizing Automated Test Systems with Parallel Technologies Learn how to use parallel technologies such as multicore processors, pipelining, and autoscheduling to optimize the execution of your automated test system. Take advantage of multicore processors to optimize processor-intensive tasks while using autoscheduling to increase the performance of instrumentation-intensive tests. James McAndrew, Software Engineer, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 10:30 –11:30 a.m. Room 12A Wednesday, August 6 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. Room 12B 38
