Network operators are faced with enormous challenges from the explosion of data growth out-strapping their ability to absorb the costs of network expansion in the current paradigm, to the rapid expansion of new entrants and revenue-generating services concepts changing the business models needed to remain competitive. New technology paradigms such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and related industry initiatives such as the mobile operator’s Network Function Virtualization (NFV) working group are demonstrating great promise in how new techniques for network virtualization can lower both CAPEX and OPEX, increase network agility and accelerate new revenue-generating service velocity. There is tremendous opportunity for innovation in software and in hardware evolving at a dizzying pace in open source initiatives and industry working groups across the spectrum. Our panelists represent solutions in this spectrum and discuss both the opportunity, the challenges and their perspective on the way forward in this fascinating evolution of the connected world.
12:30 pm – 1:00 pm
Expo Show Floor Theater
Speakers: Ian Huh, Director Mobile Solution Marketing Group - System LSI Business
As the consumer continues to demand higher graphic performance and advanced features in their mobile devices, the SoC designer struggles to ensure optimal task allocation and performance with minimal power consumption. Heterogeneous Multiprocessing (HMP) and big.LITTLE technology enables dynamic configuration of multiple processors to maximize the performance while delivering optimal energy efficiency. Samsung introduced the new Exynos 5 Octa processor with Heterogeneous Multiprocessing (HMP) and ARM big.LITTLE technology for the first time in the industry this year. This session will review the concept of HMP and analyze the challenges and benefits of a multiprocessor design by detailing the design process of the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor.
