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.
