| DATE | TIME | TOPIC | LOCATION | SPEAKER | ABSTRACT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tues, Sept 18 | 2:00 PM | Maximizing battery life on embedded platforms | 302 | Chris Shore | Power consumption is becoming more and more important all the time. With so many devices being battery-powered, the race is on to squeeze every ounce of performance out of every available Joule. Even for non-battery-powered devices, there are compelling reasons for reducing power consumption - avoiding the need to air-condition your server farm is very attractive, for instance. This session will look at the major consumers of energy in any embedded system and examine what can be done in software to minimize them. |
| Tues, Sept 18 | 2:00 PM | Standing on the Embedded Edge of the Internet of Things | 306 | Will Tu | Today we hear about the Internet of Things, the idea of connecting billions of products to the internet. This session examines the trends for embedded products that reside on the edge that utilize Sensors, Networks, and Software, the catalysts that will bring about the Internet of Things. These three elements which have revolutionized smartphones and mobile computing are now posed to do the same for industrial, medical, security, and other embedded applications. In order to be prepared for this next industrial evolution, learn how to harmonize the three catalysts so that 50 billion "Things" will be relevant to the humans that interact with them. |
| Tues, Sept 18 | 4:30 PM | Towards a Coding Standard for the ARM Architecture | 306 | Chris Shore | Coding standards are almost universal in our industry. They are almost always platform-agnostic. While this is a laudable goal, it passes up many opportunities for improving the quality and efficiency of software written for specific platforms. With the ARM architecture becoming more and more popular, it makes sense to examine what could be done in coding standards to target the architecture more effectively. While remaining sensitive to the primary intentions of code quality, maintainability and robustness, this session suggests some simple extensions which would be a welcome addition to many coding standards already in use. |
| Wed, Sept 19 | 3:15 PM | Efficient Coding for ARM Platforms | 210 | Chris Shore | This session will examine the many sides of what we mean by "efficiency". Whether it's reducing memory footprint, maximizing execution speed or minimizing power consumption, the techniques presented will provide invaluable help for anyone coding for an ARM platform. |
