Session Title:

QNX Software Systems: Designing Optimized Software for Multicore Processors 

Join QNX and Freescale Semiconductor for a technical seminar that looks at understanding and overcoming the challenges of designing optimized software for multicore processors. Until recently, the vast majority of embedded systems employed uni-processor designs. However many systems are migrating to multiprocessor designs and with the availability of Freescale multicore processors getting your software up and running is, in many cases, fairly straight forward. The real challenge lies in getting the software to make full use of all the processor’s cores. See how to maximize performance through a worked example.

Session Title:

QNX Software Systems: Software Design Choices for Multimedia-Enabled Embedded Systems 

Multimedia support is becoming a design requirement for a large variety of embedded systems based on processors including the i.MX family and MPC5121. Media servers, car radios, and even high-end handsets must now handle multiple media sources (iPods, USB flash drives, cellphones), understand multiple formats (AAC, MP3, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MTP, WMA, WMDRM-ND, etc.), and support multiple DRM schemes. Some devices also need to read streaming media from satellite radio or the internet. This class explores how software design choices can address such requirements while ensuring intuitive operation, high reliability, and seamless upgrade ability.
