HyperTransport Announces Developers Conference
Conference highlights latest developments in HyperTransport design and deployment
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 14 -- Providing a forum for members to learn more about the industry's highest performance interconnect technology, the HyperTransport Technology Consortium today announced that its annual HyperTransport Technology Developers Conference will take place on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2008, at the Santa Clara Marriott Hotel in Santa Clara, Calif. At the conference, commercial and academic members will present information on innovative HyperTransport solutions, while Consortium executive management will update attendees on HyperTransport technology progress and business opportunities.
"It's been a year of significant progress for the Consortium, having advanced HyperTransport technology by extending the performance and capabilities of the HyperTransport Link and HTX Connector specifications," said Mario Cavalli, general manager of the HyperTransport Consortium. "This year's conference gives us a forum for discussing these important milestones with existing and prospective members, while also providing participants with the opportunity to network and exchange information on existing and emerging HyperTransport implementations."
Presenting member companies and covered topics include:
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) -- AMD, a Consortium founding member, will elaborate on its latest HyperTransport products and strategy.
- Commex Technologies -- Commex, a company dedicated to delivering intelligent, cutting-edge solutions for x86 multicore system performance and power optimization, will introduce its innovative, HTX-based, in-server routing processor technology targeting Web 2.0, application delivery controller (ADC), database, Web caching, virtualization, and other 10G applications.
- Numascale -- Numascale, a Dolphin Interconnect Solution company, will introduce its innovative HTX-based NumaChip technology and its potential for shared-memory, scalable, virtualized systems.
- RMI Corporation -- RMI, a leading supplier of high-performance processors for communications and media, will present its HT-enabled XLR family of programmable, multi-threaded, content processors.
- Samtec -- Samtec, a leading manufacturer of high-performance printed circuit board interconnect and cabling solutions, will present its proposal for HT cabling and connector solutions.
About the HyperTransport Technology Consortium
The HyperTransport Technology Consortium is a membership-based, non-profit organization that licenses, manages and promotes HyperTransport Technology. The HyperTransport Consortium was founded in 2001 by leading technology innovators like AMD, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, NVIDIA, PMC-Sierra and Sun Microsystems and counts more than 60 industry-leading members worldwide, including AMD, Broadcom, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, Nvidia, Renesas and Sun Microsystems. Consortium membership is based on a yearly fee and it is open to companies interested in licensing the royalty-free use of HyperTransport technology and intellectual property. Consortium members have full access to the HyperTransport technical support database, they may attend Consortium meetings and events and may benefit from a variety of technical and business promotion services that HTC offers at no cost to its members.
