ADVISORY/StarGen to Present at Real-Time & Embedded Computing Conference Boston.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Tuesday, May 13 --(BUSINESS WIRE) RTECC RTECC Real Time Embedded Computing Conferences RTECC Real Time and Embedded Computing Conference Discussion to Focus on the Benefits of Moving to a Serial Switched Interconnect-Based Architecture
WHO: Steve Christo, StarGen's product marketing manager and the
editor of the PICMG 2.17 and 3.3 specifications, will be
delivering a presentation at Boston's Real-Time & Embedded
Computing Conference (RTECC), entitled "New Degrees of
Architectural Freedom: The Benefits of System Disaggregation
with StarFabric and Advanced Switching Based on the PCI Express
Specification."
WHAT: A fabless semiconductor company and creator of the StarFabric
interconnect architecture, StarGen recently unveiled new
product plans, including the StarXpress family of bridges and
switches, which will connect to PCI Express, and the sample
availability of the SG3010, TDM-to-StarFabric bridge. StarGen
will be showing demonstrations of StarFabric and StarXpress
capabilities in the Exhibit Hall.
WHERE: RTECC Boston will be held at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in
Framingham, MA. RTECCs are unique, one-day events showcasing
the newest products and latest information from industry
leaders. RTECC features open-door technical sessions in
conjunction with tabletop exhibits. It is specifically designed
for those developing computer systems and time-critical
applications that serve multiple industries, such as: data
communication and telephony, military and aerospace, industrial
control, instrumentation, consumer electronics, image
processing, process control, medical instrumentation, vehicular
control and maintenance, embedded appliances and more.
WHEN: The conference will take place Tuesday, May 13th, 2003 from
8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Specifically, Christo's presentation
will begin at 11:30 a.m.
About StarGen: StarGen (www.stargen.com) is a semiconductor company providing advanced serial switched interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. solutions for compute To perform mathematical operations or general computer processing. For an explanation of "The 3 C's," or how the computer processes data, see computer. and communications equipment. It is the leading designer of low-overhead, protocol-agnostic, open standards-based serial switched architectures, which enable system designers to bring new capabilities to their system while using existing standards-based parts. StarGen's currently shipping StarFabric product line benefits vendors of access communication platforms for voice, data, and video networks as well as vendors of embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. needing enhanced switched PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). capability. StarGen is also currently developing StarXpress, a complementary line of products built upon the Advanced Switching standard and compatible with PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (TM). These products will be ideal solutions for blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and , storage, and mid-range communications applications. Together, StarGen's switched interconnect products provide a dramatic increase in equipment performance, reliability, and Quality of Service while maintaining backward compatibility See backward compatible. (jargon) backward compatibility - Able to share data or commands with older versions of itself, or sometimes other older systems, particularly systems it intends to supplant. to existing standards based hardware and software. StarGen is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts Marlborough is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 36,255 at the 2000 census. The name of this town is sometimes spelled as Marlboro, rather than Marlborough, which is the official spelling. . |
