IEEE Communications Society & Signal Processing Combined Chapters

The IEEE Communications and Signal Processing Societies Combined Chapters is a community comprised of a diverse group of industry professionals with a common interest in advancing communications and signal processing technologies and provide education and networking.

IEEE COMSOC/SP continues to bring high quality speakers and compelling topics to Austin Technical community. With no exception, 2012 is promised to offer a very exciting and intriguing program taking the community to a new level.

We are pleased to hold a special meeting that will take place on:

Date:

February 16, 2012

Location:

AT&T Labs

9505 Arboretum Blvd 

Room #220 

Austin, TX 78759

Topic:

“Making of a Multicore Processor”

Abstract:

Convergence can be defined at multiple levels. We can talk about transport convergence where audio, video and data are now predominantly transported using a converged IP and Ethernet technology. There is functional convergence going on where similar functionality is offered across multiple platforms be it desktops, PDA, Smart Phones, etc. And then finally there is demand convergence, which is forcing OEMs and Service providers to offer applications and services across different platforms.

This convergence is driving the industry in two dimensions:

1) Increase in speeds and feeds; and

2) Increase in the amount of processing required to process a flow, packet etc.

This two-dimensional push in processing capacity and speeds & feeds is pushing the semi-conductor and processing industry in to building efficient (power/performance) devices. The answer that semiconductor industry is presenting is to move away from unicore solutions and to embrace multicore SoC. Multicore SoCs present their own challenges. In this talk we will discuss the motivation to move to multicore and the challenges faced by the industry in building large multicore devices.
