SANTA CLARA, CALIF., January 28, 2009 – Power Architecture® on multicore and virtualization presentations and demonstrations from Power.org and its member companies will take center stage at the DesignCon Conference February 2 – 5, 2009. The event, where Power.org is an Associate Sponsor, will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif.
“This highly visible participation in DesignCon underscores the strength of our eco-system and the continued growth of Power Architecture technology throughout the embedded industry,” said Fawzi Behmann, Marketing Committee Chair for Power.org.
During the conference, attendees will have access to the latest design tips, technology insights and demonstrations of Power Architecture technology. Power.org, for the first time as an associate sponsor, is collaborating with IEC to deliver to attendees through member company participation the following programs:
• A Power Architecture tutorial session TF-MP5, “Multicore and Virtualization Key Enablers For Next Generation Network Architecture,” will take place on February 2nd, 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This session will focus on the need for multicore in response to future high performance requirements and in enabling the next-generation class of applications and services with rich multimedia content. A special panel of experts from Freescale, IBM, Wind River and Virtutech will explore the needs of multicore SoC and enablement at different stages from Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), Hypervisor, OS, debugging, simulations and IPs. The session links the talk to Power.org standards activities including Mulitcore/Virtualization based on Power Architecture.
• Power Architecture Technology Showcase at booth #753, February 3rd – 4th from 12:00 noon – 6:30 p.m., including special demonstrations on High-performance green embedded computing by Freescale, Virtutech Simics for Multicore debug, and embedded virtualization on Power Architecture by Wind River.
