Dr. Peter Hofstee to Lead Session on IBM Cell Processor as Part of Multi-Core Processor Tutorial at GSPx 2005; GSPx Attendees Will Access Latest Thinking and Developments in Rapidly Expanding Field of Cell Processors
NEWTON, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 28, 2005—
Global Technology Conferences, Inc. (GTC) today
announced that Peter Hofstee will lead a session on the IBM Cell
Processor as part of the Multi-Core Processor Tutorial at GSPx 2005.
GSPx 2005, the pervasive signal processing event, will take place
October 24-27 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.
"The use of multi-core processors, such as the IBM Cell Processor,
opens new doors for the industry," said Dr. Amnon Aliphas, GSPx
conference chair. "Attendees at this year's conference will have the
opportunity to help drive this rapidly evolving industry forward by
participating in the Multi-Core Processor Tutorial session. IBM Cell
Processors will be able to use ultra high-speed broadband connectivity
to interoperate with one another as one complete system. The Cell's
underlying architecture will enable it to manifest itself into many
forms for many purposes, helping to open up a whole new set of
applications."
One of the Multi-Core sessions will be led by Dr. H. Peter
Hofstee, Cell Chief Scientist and Cell Synergistic Processor Chief
Architect, with the IBM Systems and Technology Group. Hofstee joined
the IBM Austin Research Laboratory in 1996 where he worked on the
world's first 1GHz CMOS integer microprocessor. In 2001, he was one of
the founding members of the joint Sony-Toshiba-IBM design center in
Austin to develop the next generation of microprocessors for the
broadband era. Dr. Hofstee received his Ph.D. in computer science from
Caltech in 1995 and was on the faculty there through 1996.
"Dr. Hofstee's participation in the conference is a huge plus for
the industry," said Dr. Winthrop Smith, leader of the Multi-Core
Processor Tutorial. "The cell processor will affect all players in the
digital entertainment, enterprise computing and semiconductor industry
sectors. Dr. Hofstee will be able to share his unique insight with
conference attendees."
