Small form factors: a new embedded computing design paradigm

摘要

The notion of relatively small size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) in aerospace and defense electronics generally suggests the ability to place more computing power in a smaller space. That's true, but it's only half the story. SWaP-con-strained electronics technologies like small-form-factor (SFF) embedded computing does enable big power in small spaces, but the ever-shrinking size of today's electronics is helping systems designers think of space in a whole new way.
