Integrating
two or more processor cores on a single chip is the hottest trend
in high-performance microprocessor design. And it's not just for
PCs and servers -- embedded processors are actually setting the
pace, with some new designs boasting more than a hundred cores.
If you design chips or systems, you simply can't
avoid multicore technology. If you're a programmer or system-software
engineer, soon you'll face the challenge of writing or acquiring
software for a multicore processor. The one conference where anyone
interested in multicore integration can ramp up their knowledge
is Fall Processor Forum 2005 (October 24 - 27, San Jose, California).
FPF 2005 will focus on three key topics: announcements
of new multicore processors, technical presentations about products
and technologies for multicore chip designers, and technical presentations
about multicore software. Much of this information will be relevant
to cutting-edge single-core designs, too.
For 18 years, our forums have been the leading international events
for announcing new microprocessors and related technologies. In-Stat's
Spring Processor Forum (formerly Embedded Processor Forum) and Fall
Processor Forum (formerly Microprocessor Forum) are held annually
in San Jose, California, attracting attendees and speakers from
all over the world. Last year, In-Stat successfully launched Processor
Forum Taiwan to reach more people in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific
markets. All our forums are organized and moderated by the experienced
analysts at Microprocessor Report, the leading newsletter
for microprocessor technology.
Each forum has new announcements and technical disclosures
about processors for desktop PCs, mobile PCs, servers, and embedded
systems. Presentations are aimed at a technical audience and typically
cover low-power technology, high-performance technology, network
processors, extreme processors (radical designs), DSPs, DSP extensions,
licensable processor cores, architectural extensions, reconfigurable/configurable
processors, multicore architectures, and related topics. No other
conference is so focused on the technology of microprocessors, and
no other conference has the history and experience of our forums.
The typical attendee is an engineer or engineering manager involved
in a design project.
