Welcome to Multicore Day 2010 September 9th
Please find the presentations here.
Time: September 9, 2010 at 9.00-17.00
Place: Electrum, Isafjordsgatan 22, Kista
Registration has been closed at 380 participants.
Multicore processors are replacing single core processors in servers, personal computers and embedded systems alike. To leverage multicore, all software must be parallel. How can we meet this challenge? What are the current options? What happens internationally and in Sweden?
The annual Multicore Days in Kista feature leading international and Swedish experts from industry and academia, who present the cutting edge of multicore computing technologies.
Multicore Day 2010 is organized by the Swedish Multicore Initiative and SICS, and sponsored by Enea, Freescale, and National Instruments.
Welcome!

ABSTRACTS OF KEYNOTES
Thomas Evensen, CTO Wind River: Multicore and Virtualization in Embedded Systems
While Multicore and Virtualization have played a big role in the IT space for a number a years, these new exciting technologies are also starting to be used in embedded systems, although often in a different form solving different problems. The keynote will discuss how Multicore and Virtualization are being used today and tomorrow in various embedded verticals, including the networking, industrial, automotive and consumer spaces. Real world use cases will exemplify the new technology trends in embedded systems.
Niklas Gustafsson, Principal Software Architect, Microsoft: Technical Computing: A Multicore Killer App
The advances in hardware design and capabilities over the last 5-6 years remain to be matched by similar advances in software methodology, platforms and tools. In this presentation, Niklas will take a look at some of these unfilled needs from the perspective of Technical and Scientific Computing, an area where parallel computing and multi-core hardware is particularly promising. The area also has a unique legacy and its own set of challenges and opportunities, which Niklas will give an overview of.
Per Hammarlund, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel, Chief Architect for the 2013 client processor: The Future of Computing
This talk will take a look at some of the components critical to continued performance increases for multicore processing, looking comprehensively at processor, platform, and usage. What are the impacts of limiters like compute center power and floor space? What are the trends and what are the areas of innovation going forward? What are the opportunities of the massive amounts of data that is collected in the cloud and the analysis that can be done on that data? How is virtualization used? The talk will also cover possible areas of competing solutions and walk through some pros and cons of different solutions.
