DATE 2008 Features Panel on Concurrency in a Multiprocessor World
Market Analyst Gary Smith of Gary Smith EDA will moderate a panel discussion titled, "Concurrency in a Multiprocessor World," during Design Automation & Test in Europe (DATE) at ICM in Munich, Germany. The panel will be held Wednesday, March 12, at 1:30 p.m. in the Exhibition Theatre. Simon Davidmann, chief executive officer and founder of Imperas Ltd., will discuss the recently announced Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) that establishes a common, open standard solution for developers to quickly and inexpensively simulate embedded software on system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
Other panelists, representing the designer community and tool suppliers, are:
- Rudy Lauwereins, vice president of Design Technology at IMEC
- Grant Martin, chief scientist at Tensilica
- Maurizio Paganini from the MMC Group, Core Development & Integration at ST Microelectronics
- Carl Engblom, director of Common Technologies, GF Technology at Ericsson
Panelists will attempt to define multiprocessing, multicore and MPSoC, while identifying the trends that caused the increased number of processors in consumer devices, disrupting the existing sequential software flow.
