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.
