An Overview of PowerQuicc III, Architecture and Performance

Time: 9.15 - 10.15

"Introducing The PowerQUICC III Integrated Communications Processor: This session will provide attendees with a detailed overview of the key architectural, functional and performance enhancements that have been made with the introduction of the first PowerQUICC III devices. In particular, the presentation will focus on the benefits and capabilities offered by:

- The new CPU and integrated Cache

- System Integration and Interconnect capabilities

- Enhanced communications functionality

Having attended this session, delegates will be able to understand the key benefits of implementing PowerQUICC III in a high performance communications system and to therefore get the most from the rest of the seminar"

Modelling Systems for Embedded Realtime Performance

Time: 12.00 - 12.45

Presenter: Emmanuel Gaudin (Director, PRAGMADEV)

The introduction of SDL-RT is an opportunity for real time developers to finally have a dedicated standard where concepts they use every day have a graphical representation while keeping their C & C++ code inside. We consider SDL-RT to provide the most suited representation in the embedded /real time world today because it is simply a set of graphical representations of classical concepts such as tasks, messages, states, timers, and semaphores. Any real time developer will understand and implement their designs using these representations; and legibility of SDL-RT systems is both powerful and clear. Pragmadev RTDS is the first commercial off the shelf tool based on SDL-RT concept. It targets all development teams working with a Real Time Operating System, incorporating Specification, Design, Code generation, Unitary testing, Conformance, & Documentation.
PragmaDev MSC tracer is a graphical tracing tool based on ITU-T Message Sequence Chart and on OMG UML2.0 Sequence Diagram standards. It allows to trace on-line or off-line your target behaviour with a standard graphical representation.
