ADVISORY/Tensilica's Xtensa Microprocessor Technology Featured Prominently at the Embedded Processor Forum; Presentations Will Detail Xtensa Applications in Advanced Imaging.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Embedded Processor A CPU chip used in a system other than a general purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such chips are used by the billions every year in a myriad of products. See embedded system. Forum 2002 ADVISORY... for Tuesday (April 30) --(BUSINESS WIRE)
Who: Tensilica, Inc., the leading provider of configurable and
extensible microprocessor IP for integration into
system-on-chip (SOC) devices.
What: Two presentations detailing Tensilica's Xtensa(R) core in
imaging and face recognition applications:
-- Leo Petropolis, director of applications engineering for
Tensilica, will present, for the first time, technical details
of instruction extensions for the Tensilica(R) Xtensa
processor core that accelerate MPEG-4 performance by 10x.
-- Francesco Lertora, system architect for STMicroelectronics,
the world's third largest independent semiconductor company,
will discuss the technical details of a customized processor
for face recognition. By combining demanding face recognition
algorithms with the Tensilica Xtensa processor core,
STMicroelectronics has developed a complex custom processor
for low-cost embedded applications.
When: Tensilica's paper will take place on Tuesday,
April 30, 2002, Session Three (following lunch).
STMicroelectronics' paper will take place on Wednesday,
May 1, 2002, Session Five (following lunch).
Where: Embedded Processor Forum 2002
San Jose Fairmont
170 South Market Street
San Jose, CA
Notes: Members of the press who are interested in scheduling an
interview with the presenters should contact Constance Sweeney, Tanis

About Tensilica Tensilica was founded in July 1997 to address the fast-growing market for configurable processors and software development tools for high volume, 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. . Using the company's proprietary Xtensa Processor Generator generator, in electricity, machine used to change mechanical energy into electrical energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, discovered (1831) by Michael Faraday. , system-on-chip (SOC (System On a Chip) The electronics for a complete, working product contained on a single chip. While a microcontroller includes all the hardware components required to process instructions, an SoC includes the computer and all required ancillary electronics. ) designers can develop a processor subsystem A unit or device that is part of a larger system. For example, a disk subsystem is a part of a computer system. A bus is a part of the computer. A subsystem usually refers to hardware, but it may be used to describe software. hardware design and a complete software development tool environment tailored to their specific requirements in hours. Tensilica's solutions provide a proven, easy-to-use, methodology that enables designers to achieve optimum application performance in minimum design time.
