Sign Up for Linley Mobile Conference – See Chris Rowen

If you’ve never heard of the Linley Mobile Conference, you’ve been missing out on one of the most influential conferences for design innovation for next-generation mobile devices.

Registration is now open for the Linley Mobile Conference, April 22-23, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, CA. And you’re going to want to attend.

Just read the show’s description:

Innovation in mobile chip and system design is accelerating. Smartphones and tablets already deliver capabilities that previously required desktop PCs and bulky consumer electronics, including multicore computing, high-resolution graphics for console-quality gaming, HD video displays, and DSLR-quality cameras. Next-generation devices will add more powerful 64-bit processors, 4K video recording and playback, and computer vision capabilities that can sense and recognize a user's environment in three dimensions. Wearable devices will shrink many of these functions into even smaller packages, and new functions for communications, entertainment, fitness, and health.

To deliver these new capabilities, mobile processors must integrate a plethora of IP cores, including big and little CPUs, DSPs, GPUs, video, security, and NoCs to connect them all. Mobile systems also require complex RF design, power management, and sensor hubs.

The highlight of the conference will be session 2 at 1:00pm on Wednesday, April 22. Cadence CTO Chris Rowen will present “Always Alert: New Processors for Low-Energy Wireless Sensor Hubs.” He will discuss the concept of "always alert" systems that are not just "on" but continuously sensing and monitoring the environment or user in anticipation of significant events. These platforms combine significant sensor fusion processing, sophisticated context triggers, and secure low-power wireless communication – a data-rich combination that mandates a new category of low-energy, DSP-rich processing node. This presentation will introduce a new product optimized for this emerging category.

Also, be sure to stop by and see our demonstration of our always-alert system at the evening reception on Wednesday.
