Hello Fellow Multicore Aficionado,

Before we start talking about the 7th Annual Multicore Developers Conference, I'd first like to thank all the sponsors, presenters, and especially the attendees, for a successful event in 2011. It certainly appeared that 2011 was the year where system designers really began to take multicore technology seriously, as the presenters and attendees focused much more on the practical aspects of multicore usage. Clearly, over the course of the last 6 years, the industry has witnessed major changes in the adoption of multicore technology.

In 2011, for the first time at Multicore Developers Conference, we brought you the "Executive Summit: Strategies for Integrating Multicore Technology". The feedback we received indicated that this was a very worthwhile segment of the event, so we look forward to hosting this again in 2012. During the Executive Summit, leading industry spokespeople will provide you with authoritative perspectives on how multicore processor technology will affect your business and product development.

And as we've done since the inception of Multicore Developers Conference, we will once again bring you state-of-the-art technical sessions covering subjects that include multimedia and embedded graphics, programming and debug, software tools and libraries, APIs for multicore communications and resource management, RTOS and virtualization technologies, and other relevant topics.

As chairman of the Multicore Developers Conference, I have a responsibility to the design communities to assemble the multicore technology experts and provide you, the conference attendee, with answers to your questions. Oddly enough, I also hope that you take away from the conference more questions than you started with, as that means that we've enlightened you on the issues that you'll need to be aware of as you begin your multicore-enabled design.

The Multicore Developers Conference is also loaded with exhibits and demos that are focused on multicore implementations. This will provide you with the opportunity to see multicore technology in action as well as network with the multicore experts.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.
 

Sincerely,

Markus Levy
Conference Chair
