Unlocking the potential of embedded multicore processing – Dan Cronin, Freescale Semiconductor
Multi-core development has been receiving hard knocks from developers and industry insiders as the programming model continues to be outpaced by the technology. How do developers evolve to a concurrent design for multi-core applications? How do they handle load balancing and mixed asymmetric / symmetric multi-processing environments on the same device? Dan will address the embedded multi-core programming challenges, including asymmetric vs. symmetric multiprocessing and protecting the cores. He will then present a new world of multi-core programming, where Linux and other OSs live in harmony and developers have better visibility into multi-core architectures through enhanced simulation and diagnostics. (30 minutes)

Reducing Boot Time - Techniques for Fast Booting
Many embedded products require rapid turn-on times or suffer down time and user frustration. A typical embedded system contains a bootloader and kernel, both of which are typically configured with many useful default features that may or may not be important for a given product requirement. This presentation examines techniques to significantly reduce boot time while preserving the base functionality required of typically configured embedded systems.  (30 slides)
