Presents

The Future Architecture of Embedded Processing

Abstract

We are seeing the proliferation of networked embedded processing. Wireless network standards have accelerated the growth of networked personal devices such as PDAs, cell phones, and cameras. Embedded sensors and processors for the office, home, automobile, and public places are the next phase in the continuing growth of information networks.

What will the architecture of these embedded processors be? Continuation of the standard Wintel (PC) architecture, hardwired logic (ASIC's), extension of existing DSP architectures, or expanded use of programmable logic? Application requirements for processing performance, communication bandwidth, power consumption, cost, and time-to-market will drive the choices made by designers of these embedded systems.

This talk will attempt to cover the major issues and tradeoffs that designers must resolve as they architect this next generation of networked devices.

Host

Dr. Fernando C. Colon Osorio

Refreshments will be served.
