About Jakob Engblom and this blog

Update: October 22nd, 2011

This blog is a personal blog, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions and positions of my employer. Don’t take this as any kind of official stance from the company I work for.

I am currently in the position of technical marketing manager for Simics at Wind River. Wind River bought Virtutech in early 2010, and I changed employers along with the product. Prior to Virtutech, I was with IAR Systems in Uppsala, doing compilers. While at IAR, I obtained a PhD in real-time systems from Uppsala University. I have worked with embedded systems and development tools for embedded systems since 1997.

For more CV details, list of publications and presentations, etc., see my static homepage.

This blog’s main topics are:

  • Multicore computers & programming
  • Computer simulation & virtual platforms – both the technology and its applications
  • Embedded and real-time computer systems, especially multicore such
  • Hardware design, as it touches virtual platforms

Within this topics, there is a mix of general observations, commentary, reports from conferences and trade shows, notes about articles I have read and articles that I have written, comments on blog posts in other places, and anything else that is relevant.

There are also off-topic posts about travel, transportation, and personal technology issues
