is a tech education site for SE Asia.  Hungry technophiles need to be developed, N American youth are busy playing, Asians are playing catch up and will likely exceed in the next decade.

Greater Asia weath is beginning to explode fueled by hungrier and better educated youth... Canada parked it under the Lost Liberal Decade that saw the country favour women and minoritiy policies that effectively punished small business while Tech Titans cleaned house with the final undoing during Covid... small business taxation, paying back survival loans to the govenment as goliaths like VW sucked $15B of future wealth from Canadians for a battery plants as the Liberals tamp out W Canadian resourse sector. The Liberal mayhem has fueled an investment desert Canadawide and bottomless money pit not seen since the last fuddle duddler spent Canada into the deepest of debt while the youth play and arm themselves for the future Blame Games.  

Canadian Government and Big Business now own Canadians, lock stock and millions of dead secure BB10's.  Think about it, QNX secures Governments, Big Business, Banks, Big Legal, Military and High Finance... all the security BB10 offered to the common man was eliminated by  Davos Elite and squeezed to secure their iron fisted hold of hoi polloi.

Developing Cylance into a saleable product required almost $2B on top of the $1.4B... Last May 8.0 was released, now that Cylance and QNX 8.0 are fully formed products R&D manhours are trimmed 1/3, $100M goes to the bottomline and BlackBerry R&D settles back into an industry norm 20%...

TIME TO MAKE HAY!

BlackBerry QNX Releases Ultra-Scalable, High-Performance Compute Ready Operating System to Advance Software Development Efforts for Next Generation Vehicles and IoT Systems

QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 Maximizes Multi-Core Processor Performance for Generations to Come 

WATERLOO, ON, May 17, 2023  /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB) (TSX: BB) today announced the early access release of QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 to enable automakers and IoT systems developers to deliver more powerful products at lower costs, while maintaining the unparalleled safety, security and reliability standards that QNX technology has long been known for. 

Powered by its new next generation QNX® operating system (OS), the company's highest performance, safe and secure embedded OS ever, SDP 8.0 is designed to realize the performance potential of the increasing number of multi-core processors that automakers and IoT systems developers are selecting for their products and is the result of intense R&D work utilizing BlackBerry QNX's leading IP and unique experience in high performance EDGE computing.

Providing a step-change in performance while maintaining its competitive differentiator as an inherently safe and secure, POSIX compliant, real-time microkernel-based OS, the new architecture has shown an impressive 1-to-1 performance scaling factor as the number of cores increase, unprecedented for a commercial real time operating system. With the next generation QNX OS, customers can now fully realize the performance of next generation processors and reduce their overall costs by maximizing utilization of the available compute resources, a boon for the likes of automakers whose shift towards Software-Defined Vehicles has brought an exponential amount of software-based architecture complexity.

QNX SDP 8.0 lays the foundation for the next generation BlackBerry® QNX® product portfolio, including next generation QNX® OS for Safety, QNX® Hypervisor and QNX® Hypervisor for Safety, allowing developers to reap the benefits of this new technology irrespective of which BlackBerry QNX technology best suits their requirement.

"The automotive industry is redefining software in the vehicle," said John Wall, Senior Vice President and Head of BlackBerry QNX. "Automotive architectures are transitioning to zonal, central compute and ultimately Software Defined Vehicles.  The top to bottom scalability inherent to SDP 8.0, the QNX OS for Safety and the QNX Hypervisor makes this a natural choice for automakers looking for a total car OS."

BlackBerry is working with NVIDIA to integrate the QNX OS microkernel on the next-generation NVIDIA DRIVE Thor, which delivers 2000 TFLOPS of performance and consolidates automated driving with AI cockpit on a single centralized platform.

"The combination of our DRIVE Thor centralized computer and the new QNX OS will serve as a powerful foundation on which OEMs can build next-generation automotive systems that offer the highest levels of safety and security," said Ali Kani, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA. "This represents another major milestone in a nearly 20-year collaboration with BlackBerry QNX that has helped both companies move to the forefront of the automotive industry."

"With more than 300 million vehicles capable of over-the-air software updates expected to be on the road globally by 2032, automakers are clamoring for better tools to help them develop compelling technology features in the software-defined vehicle," said Alex Oyler, a director at SBD Automotive, a leading global automotive technology research and consulting firm. "A secured-by-design operating system that seamlessly integrates with other software components on a high-performance system-on-chip represents the foundation of a safe, secure, and seamless experience for drivers. Both automakers and suppliers rely on validated software and well-integrated development tools to help them more efficiently build and maintain differentiating software for their fleets." 

The early access release of QNX SDP 8.0 is available now for evaluation and product development. General availability is scheduled for later in 2023.
