Embedded devices are at the forefront of social change.

Hermann Strass —

A small embedded computer with a MIPS-based RISC processor provides full-function multimedia video performance.

Jeff Richardson —

Asymmetric multicore architectures are needed to achieve wire-speed, deterministic performance at the lowest power and cost.

Rick Leatherman —

Developers must choose a processor architecture with a seamless development environment that includes compilers, debuggers, and performance and profiling tools.

Stephen Lau —

Optimizing multicore devices will be one of the biggest challenges facing developers in the future.

Eric Carmes —

The Fast Path architecture offers a progressive migration path that enables software reuse and optimizes return on development investment.

Kevin Walsh —

On-chip eye-monitoring techniques provide visibility to receive-side data after equalization, offering a view of the PHY's performance.

Grant Martin —

Data plane processing units allow designs to be more flexible and optimized than what designers could achieve in the past.
