Not sure if POET will be here this year, but may take the 2016 event by storm!! They may have to change the wording......"The Linley Group will present an overview of the market, technologies, equipment design and silicon trends for the designers of mobile devices".

Focusing on IC and System Design
April 22 - 23, 2015

The Linley Group will host its Annual Mobile Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Santa Clara CA.

Learn about design innovation for next-generation mobile devices.

Innovation in mobile chip and sytem design is accelerating. Smartphones and tablets already deliver capabililties that previously required desktop PCs and bulky consumer electronics, including multicore computing, high-resolution graphics for console-quality gamiing, HD video displays, and DSLR-quality cameras. Next generation devices will add more powerful 64-bit processors, 4K video recording and playback, and computer vision capabilities that can sense and recognize a user's environment in three dimensions. Wearable devices will shrink many of these functions into even smaller packages, and new functions for communications, entertainment, fitness, and health.

To deliver these new capabiltities, mobile processors must integrate a plethora of IP cores, including big and little CPUs, DSPs, GPUs, video, security, and NoCs to connect them all. Mobile systems also require complex RF design, power management, and sensor hubs.

This two-day, single-track conference features technical presentations addressing design issues for devices such as tablets, smartphones, and media players, along with emerging categories such as smartwatches and wearable devices. The Linley Group will also present an overview of the market, technologies, equipment-design, and silicon trends for designers of mobile devices.

This event is the only one of its kind focused on mobile platform design.

The program will include technical presentations and panel discussions addressing a broad range of topics including the following:

- Mobile semiconductor overview
- Multicore application processors
- Licensable CPUs for mobile devices
- Licensable GPU, DSP, and NoC cores
- Other low-power IP cores
- Mobile SoC design issues
- Mobile software trends
