Extreme Processors
for Communications and Multimedia: Specialized
Processors for Demanding Applications
presented
by Max Baron
This updated day-long seminar explores
the ever-expanding spectrum of
architectures and technologies that provide optimized
processors for
applications requiring performance and/or efficiency
beyond the
capabilities of a general-purpose engine. The seminar
spans a broad
range of solutions that involve specialized instructions,
special
purpose architectures, configurable architectures, arrays,
synchronous
and asynchronous solutions, optical computing, and field-programmable,
and software-generated hardware. A sampling of processors
will be used
to illustrate the advantages and drawbacks of different
technologies,
microarchitectures and specialized architectures. The
seminar will also
include a business-oriented look at the market opportunities
for end-use
applications that will shape the roadmap of new chips.
Intel Microprocessor
Forecast: Challenges for the Future
presented
by Kevin Krewell
With the PC and Server markets in transition,
it is more important than
ever to understand what Intel is doing today—and
planning for tomorrow.
The Intel Microprocessor Forecast seminar is the definitive
look at
Intel's microprocessor business, giving you the industry's
most
technically sophisticated insights into the internal
and external
factors that will drive the next generation of Intel
microprocessors.
Whether you're designing hardware or software for desktop
PCs,
notebooks, or servers, MDR's Intel Microprocessor Forecast:
Challenges
for the Future offers the industry's most informed insights
into the
plans, strategies, costs, and manufacturing capacities
of the dominant
player in the PC microprocessor market. Material for
the seminar is
drawn from MDR's Intel Microprocessor Service.

Comparing High-Performance
Microprocessor Architectures
presented by
Peter N. Glaskowsky
The microprocessor industry today is
a battleground between two opposing
factions—advocates of faster general-purpose processors,
and those who
believe that application-specific architectures can
provide superior
overall performance. This conflict goes far beyond the
old CISC vs. RISC
debate, and could force us to redefine our concept of
the
microprocessor. Seminar attendees will learn about the
most important
high-performance microprocessor architectures in both
camps, as well as
techniques being used for programmable graphics, networking,
and
"extreme" processors. You'll learn the underlying
microarchitecture
techniques vendors use to boost performance, and how
compiler technology
is adapting to these new designs. This seminar is aimed
at system
architects, designers of processor support chips and
software, and
technical marketers who need to understand the relative
strengths and
weaknesses of today's best microprocessors.

The Embedded Processor
Landscape: Selecting a Processor for Embedded
Systems
presented by
Markus Levy
Some of the fastest, most complex, and
highest volume chips have been
designed for embedded applications. Which is right for
yours?
The embedded market is not a sleepy backwater anymore.
With over 100
embedded chips vying for your attention, it can take
months to find the
right one. In-Stat/MDR's seminar, The Embedded Processor
Landscape:
Selecting a Processor for Embedded Systems, is a valuable
day-long
decision-making resource.
This seminar will include:
- analysis and specifications of key
embedded chips
- processor selection guidelines making
it easy to find chips that meet
your specifications
- independent analysis of each
architecture from the most trusted source
in the industry.
