The two-day workshop is
sponsored by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI), Toshiba and IBM and will be
held at the Klaus Advanced Computing Building on Georgia Tech's campus. Keynote
speakers at the event include Bijan Davari, IBM Fellow and Vice President, Next
Generation Computing Systems and Technology; Dominic Mallinson, Vice President, US
Research and Development, SCEI and Yoshio Masubuchi, General Manager,
Broadband System LSI Development Center, Toshiba's semiconductor company. More
information on the workshop may be found online.
"We are very excited to be able to support the growth of this breakthrough technology by
bringing some of the top minds in the industry together at Georgia Tech to stimulate
discussion about the future of Cell/B.E. technology," said David A. Bader, Associate
Professor and Executive Director of High-Performance Computing in the College of
Computing at Georgia Tech. "The Cell/B.E. processor represents the future of computing
using heterogeneous multi-core processors, and we are proud to help drive the
continued advancement of computationally-intensive applications that will direct ly impact
the global growth of our industry and evolution of our society."
The revolutionary Cell/B.E. processor is a breakthrough design featuring a centr al
processing core, based on IBM's industry leading Power Architecture(TM) technology,
