Software Development
Challenges for Multicore Processors, Fact & Fiction |
When: |
Monday (October 27, 2008) 1:00pm —2:30pm |
Where: |
Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, room 206 |
Who: |
David Kleidermacher, Chief Technology Officer, Green
Hills Software |
Synopsis: |
10% of embedded systems use single chip multicore
processors, with this number steadily increasing. Rapid multicore
uptake has raised alarms about the perceived difficulties in developing
and migrating software to these new architectures. However, contrary
to popular belief, the multicore software development ecosystem for
embedded systems is quite mature. The larger industry challenge is
found in the need for activation energy: software developers must
be trained on a new set of tools and techniques for the development,
debugging, and run-time management of embedded multicore software.
This session will debunk the myths relating to multicore software
design difficulties and discuss the multicore software toolbox that
developers must adopt to be successful. |
Embedded System
Applications of System Virtualization |
When: |
Monday (October 27, 2008) 8:30am —10:00pm |
Where: |
Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, room 204 |
Who: |
Jack Greenbaum, Director of Engineering, Advanced
Products |
Synopsis: |
The applications for system virtualization technology
in IT infrastructure are well known, including resource optimization
and migration ease. But virtualization technology has broader applications
in non-IT computer systems, including embedded and hand-held devices.
This session identifies the motivations for system virtualization
outside of the IT server space, and presents several system architectures
for both fielded and in-development systems that use system virtualization
in unique ways. The systems include instances that require co-deployment
of multiple virtualized guests with security-critical applications,
and embedded applications that benefit from a heterogeneous OS architecture. |
Panel Discussion |
Virtual Platforms:
Are They Worth the Investment? |
When: |
Monday (October 27, 2008) 4:45 pm — 5:45
PM |
Where: |
Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, room 206 |
Who: |
Jack Greenbaum, Director of Engineering, Advanced
Products |
Synopsis: |
A new generation of virtual platforms for early software
development has emerged, enabling a never-before-seen ecosystem of
development tools, hardware models, and services. A panel of representatives
of virtual platform providers, model creators, and virtual platform
users will explore where the highest returns on investment are, clarify
the effect virtual platforms have on the software development process,
and debate why the use of virtual platforms has yet to become mainstream
and where virtual prototyping technologies are heading in the future. |
