Information Appliances and Embedded Processors in Convergence
University Seminars
Join
Steve Leibson and Markus Levy on Wednesday, May 30 for a special
program of four 90-minute seminars to be held as part of this
years ConVergence University where an international
audience of development engineers will join leading semiconductor
companies and development tools suppliers for three days of
intensive hands-on training in the largest event of this kind
in the embedded industry.
See
below for more details on the seminars to be presented by Steve
Leibson and Markus Levy, To register on line, please visit the

Seminar
Topics:
Introduction
to the Design of Information Appliances
Steve
Leibson, Microprocessor Report Editorial Director,
MDR Chief Analyst
Will
information appliances succeed or fail in competition with PCs?
This seminar evaluates the technical and market challenges for
emerging information appliances and surveys the key technologies
that will enable them, including microprocessors, system logic
memory, mass storage, displays, batteries, peripheral interfaces,
and wireless communications.
Introduction
to Low-Power Embedded Processors
Steve
Leibson, Microprocessor Report Editorial Director,
MDR Chief Analyst
The
right processor for a low-power embedded system needs to run
from a trickle of current off a PCs keyboard connector,
or must otherwise drop system-level power dissipation to extremely
low levels. Learn how to achieve your portable system performance
goals while providing more battery life than the competition.
Introduction
to High-Performance Embedded Processors
Markus
Levy, Microprocessor Report Senior Editor, MDR Senior
Analyst
Focuses
on the technical merits of processors that deliver maximum processing
speed, with in-depth analysis of the latest 32- and 64-bit architectures
from all of the key industry players, as well as the newcomers
and the long shots.
Embedded
Processor Benchmarking
Markus
Levy, Microprocessor Report Senior Editor, MDR Senior
Analyst
In-depth
analysis on the latest benchmarking techniques from EEMBC, the
embedded processor benchmark consortium, including examples
of recently benchmarked processors from NEC, LSI Logic, Tensilica,
and TriMedia.
