Welcome to Multicore Day 2010, Thursday September 9.

Multicore processors are replacing single core processors in servers, personal computers and embedded systems alike. To leverage multicore, all software must be parallel. How can we meet this challenge? What are the current options? What happens internationally and in Sweden?

The annual Multicore Days in Kista feature leading international and Swedish experts from industry and academia, who present the cutting edge of multicore computing technologies. This year’s keynote speakers are:

- Tomas Evensen, CTO Wind River
- Per Hammarlund, Senior Principal Engineer, Intel
- Niklas Gustafsson, Software Architect, Microsoft

Time: September 9, 2010 at 9.00-17.00
Place: Electrum, Isafjordsgatan 22, Kista

Multicore Day 2010 is free of charge. Program and registration at www.sics.se/multicore2010

Multicore Day 2010 is organized by the Swedish Multicore Initiative and SICS, and sponsored by Enea, Freescale, and National Instruments.

Welcome!
