Description

1. INTRODUCTION Using a PC-based solution with off-the-shelf components has been a long-time trend in the Industrial Automation (IA) industry, and the benefits that it has brought have been numerous. There is a crucial trend in the computing industry that has to be embraced to make full use of PC-based control solutions. The trend is the peaking of the processing power per execution unit, and the rise of multi-core computing. For example, looking at AMD's server roadmap (Ferguson, 2008), one can see that at the end of their 2 year projection they expect to have 12-cores per CPU. Total processing power will continue to increase, but it will be in the form of closesly packed multiple execution units.
