Abstract: A method of testing a design of a satellite payload transponder with modules of radio frequency (RF) communications circuitry includes executing a modeling application for establishing a modeling environment for generating a virtual satellite payload transponder and virtual test equipment. The virtual satellite payload transponder has virtual modules of RF communications circuitry, with functionality equivalent to that of the satellite payload transponder with modules of RF communications circuitry. The virtual test equipment has functionality equivalent to that of physical test equipment in conjunction with modular test system software. The modeling environment establishes an executable block diagram for performing a simulation of executed satellite payload transponder command, RF signal performance and telemetry response testing, utilizing a given version of the modular test system software corresponding to the modules of RF communications circuitry of the design of the satellite payload transponder.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing data in a platform. A first permission level is identified for first data in the data generated by a source in the platform. A second permission level is identified for an intended recipient of the first data. The first data is modified to form second data in the data in which the second data has the second permission level. The second data is distributed to the intended recipient.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in executing a software application by a plurality of processor cores. The software application is associated with source code that defines a plurality of threads. A portion of source code corresponding to each thread is identified, and each thread is assigned to a processor core. Each processor core is associated with the portions of source code that correspond to the threads assigned to the processor core. The portions of source code associated with each processor core are operable to be transformed into object code for execution by the processor core. The relationships between the processor cores, the threads, and/or the portions of source code may be displayed to a user.

Abstract: The different advantageous embodiments provide a system for partitioning a data processing system comprising a number of cores and a partitioning process. The partitioning process is configured to assign a number of partitions to the number of cores. Each partition in the number of partitions is assigned to a separate number of cores from the number of cores.
