Density Driven Design : A Collaborative Approach to Migrating to

a Faster, Multicore Environment Based on a COTS Platform

Presented by: ACT/Technico, Wind River, and Emerson Network Power
Moderator: Chris Ciufo

The goal:
The goal of next-generation designs is to achieve better performance in a smaller footprint using less power, while maintaining a level of backward compatibility.

What you will learn:
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to disentangle all the information out there; Emerson Network Power will show how new multicore processor boards differ from the uniprocessors, using as an example the newest multicore Power Architecture VME processor board. Wind River Systems will discuss how taking advantage of multicore environments with SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) or AMP (asymmetric multiprocessing) capabilities can significantly reduce the scope and complexity of multicore device software development, while taking advantage of the performance benefits of multicore processors.

Sub-system design challenges are increased even further when applying I/O interconnect schemes, storage considerations, and network connectivity. ACT/Technico will show you how you can take advantage of using off the shelf COTS hardware from multiple vendors to design a platform tailored to your project or design requirements. Specific attention will be given to BSPs and driver support. Environmental factors will also be examined and how they affect product selection.
