WEBINAR: Extracting Max Multicore Performance
QNX Software Systems, Freescale Semiconductor and Arrow Electronics invite you to join us on February 15th for a web seminar that explores how to maximize multicore performance:
Extracting Maximum Performance from Multicore Processors
Running software on a multicore processor is, in many cases, fairly easy. The real challenge is getting the software to make full use of all the processor's cores.
In this webinar, QNX and Freescale will discuss:
o Threading models for creating multiple concurrent tasks
o Parallel processing on multicore devices
o Design patterns for increasing parallelism
(worker threads, peer threads, etc.)
o Techniques to optimize cache usage
Learn how to use advanced multicore-aware tools to identify opportunities for parallelism and performance optimization. We will include screen shots retargeting software from a single-to
quad-core device (QorIQ P4040 processor) for an almost hands-on experience.
Attend the live webinar and you will be entered for a chance to win a QorIQ P2020RDB-PCA reference design board through Arrow Electronics. Attendees will also have an opportunity to see a demonstration of the QNX QorIQ P2020 Multicore Starter Kit. Your local Arrow FAE will demonstrate the QorIQ P2020 Multicore Starter Kit, showing the benefits of multicore on the QNX platform.
Hope you will be able to join me February 15th - please register if you would like to attend .

Dear
Dedicated Systems Experts have posted a new evaluation report of QNX technology v6.5.0 on PPC architectures November 17th. QNX achieved excellent marks in benchmark performance again (the initial reports were focused on the use of QNX on x86 Atom/Pentium and ARM Cortex A8 architectures).
Feel free to visit http://download.dedicated-systems.com/ for further details.
Dedicated Systems Experts is currently working on an OS comparison report too – once the report is available we will let you know.
