Tensilica Sponsors 2nd International System-on-Chip
Conference
Hosts Panels and Sessions Focused on Accelerating
SoC Design With Configurable Processors
Santa Clara, Calif. – October
26, 2004 – Tensilica, Inc. today
announced that it is the Platinum Sponsor of
the 2nd International System-on-Chip Conference,
and will participate in multiple panels and sessions
at the show. The conference is being held at
the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Silicon Valley – Milpitas,
California, on Wednesday, November 3 and Thursday,
November 4, 2004. It focuses on educating the
industry about significant issues in SOC design.
Tensilica’s activities will include:
- A presentation entitled, "Instantly Create
SOC Hardware Blocks from C Algorithm Descriptions," which
will be given by Steve Roddy, vice president
of marketing, on November 3 at 1:30 p.m. Mr.
Roddy will discuss new compiler technologies
that enable the instant creation of RTL hardware
descriptions from algorithms written in standard
ANSI C code.
- A second presentation entitled, "Designing
with Configurable Processors Instead of RTL,” which
will be presented by Steve Leibson on November
4 at 1 p.m. Mr. Leibson will discuss how configurable
processors can be used in place of traditional
custom logic to simplify and accelerate the design
of SOCs.
- A panel discussion entitled, "CPUs and
DSPs for SOC Platform Design," with Steve
Leibson on November 4 at 4:15 p.m. Mr. Leibson
will be one of five panelists to discuss the
integration of CPUs and DSPs in SOC design. Other
panelists include Intel, ARM, Texas Instruments
and Elixent.
“In less than a year, this conference has
grown to become one of the leading forums for discussion
on SOC design,” said Leibson. “The
conference program comprises leading authorities
in academic and commercial circles. We are honored
to be among such an impressive group and look forward
to sharing our knowledge on some of the breakthrough
technologies in SOC design.”
