Until not so long ago, when one thought of computers, perhaps one thought more about Desktop PCs. This has now changed though. Embedded systems have played a pivotal role as the change-agent. Embedded applications now run on microcomputers that can be found within electronic devices such as household appliances, vending machines, gasoline pumps, cellular phones, pagers and many more.

Until recently, these embedded computers were extremely constrained in terms of space, power, memory, and network connectivity. But these constraints have been removed, and embedded systems have become much more powerful. Organizations are beginning to capitalize on the increased capabilities of embedded microprocessors by building powerful new embedded applications that extend the reach of corporate application systems directly to the device.

The embedded software market is on the brink of massive expansion. SARK envisions this as a real opportunity and recognizes this as a thrust area for growth in the years to come. Accordingly, SARK is working on a number of projects in the embedded arena. These are primarily using Network Processors Units (NPU’s) to develop embedded applications for very high-speed routers, learning bridges, IPv6 based applications, etc. NPU’s seek the sweet spot between general purpose processors, and ASIC (application specific integrated circuits) chips designed for processing network packets. SARK has also set up dedicated overseas development centers for Silicon Valley based product companies operating in the embedded network applications space.
