ARM CONFERENCE NOVEMBER 9-11
The ARM architecture accounts for something like 90 percent of all low power embedded 32-bit RISC processors which are predominant in PDAs, cell phones, music players, and so forth. If you are involved in designing for this
architecture — hardware or software — you should know about the 2010 ARM Technology Conference, scheduled
for November 9-11 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. November 9 focuses on chip design issues, and November
10 and 11 are devoted to software and systems design. The conference combines classroom sessions, tutorials, panels,
and product demos/exhibits. For more information, visit www.eetimes.com/armconference. NV
