Processors for Networking and Communications
Held November 5, 2008
in San Jose
Proceedings from the seminar are now available.
On November 5th, The Linley Group held a Linley Tech seminar that explored two key processor trends. We discussed
which high-performance applications are best served by multicore
processors or single-core processors, what the performance
tradeoffs are, and whether or not software was keeping up with the hardware.
The second trend was the development of specialized processors for
applications such as broadband and VoIP. These processors are more
efficient than general-purpose devices, but only when they are a good
match for the application. What specialized processors are available
and what needs do they fill?
Technical presentations from the leading vendors addressed these and other questions. Afterward, attendees had the opportunity to meet
with the experts and our industry analysts.
