Technical program unveiled for first-ever Power Architecture Developer Conference

Power.org, the open collaborative organization that enables, develops and promotes Power Architecture technology, unveiled a robust technical program for the first-ever vendor-neutral Power Architecture Developer Conference, to be held in Austin, Texas, September 24 - 25, 2007. More than 65 hours of technical sessions, panels, hands-on labs, poster presentations and discussions with market leaders are slated for the two-day event.

The technical program discloses new information on software development for the power architecture platform, multi-core solutions, virtualization compute-intensive solutions, and digital media, as well as an embedded perspective. Presenting companies include AMCC, CodeSourcery, Inc., Denali Software, Inc., EEMBC, Freescale Semiconductor, GE Aviation, Green Hills Software, IBM, Intrinsity, Inc., IPextreme, Mentor Graphics, Mindtree Consulting Ltd, OPSIS, PA Semi, Sona College of Technology, Technonics, Inc., Thales Computers and other members of the growing Power.org community. Note that more technical sessions, panels and labs will be added over the coming weeks. Visit www.power.org/devcon/07/agenda for periodic updates including the announcement of the full schedule.

Space is limited for all sessions, and attendees are encouraged to register well in advance. The discounted Early Bird registration closes July 15th. Registration can be completed easily online at www.power.org/devcon/07/register/.
