Migrating Existing Applications to Multi-Core Environments:
Using the Right Tools and the Right Approach

Webinar: Tuesday, March 9^th

Multi-core processors are quickly taking hold in the market. New device designs are started every day with the intention of leveraging the power multi-core processors deliver. But what about your existing applications that must run on these new devices.

Do you have to completely re-architect and re-develop your existing code?

How much parallel performance improvement can you expect for your applications?

Can you minimize changes, or does it mean starting from scratch?

Knowing the answers to these questions before you start making code changes lets you choose the best time to migrate your applications. Multi-core development doesn't have to be complex. Join MontaVista Software and CriticalBlue to learn how you can predictably migrate existing applications to a multi-core environment. We'll talk about the right techniques to employ, and what tools to use, to help you get the most from your existing code.

In this webinar you'll learn how to:

Analyze your existing applications for use on multi-core processors
Realize the full potential of multicore architectures with minimal code changes
Use Eclipse based tools to migrate your code to multi-core
Optimize your applications for your target hardware
Register today and get started on your move to multi-core.
