Finding your packet performance sweet spot Multicore software design options for high performance communication systems Tuesday, December 13, 2011 TIME: 12:00pm ET/ 9:00am PT In the Networking, Telecom, and Communications equipment business, packet performance is one of the most critical requirements Service Providers and Operators use to measure your products against the competition. How fast, how intelligently, and how efficiently your network element handles data packet processing has a direct effect on the end user experience and an Operators ability to monetize new services. Designing network elements that can deploy today and scale for future networks is no easy task. Network elements must be designed to handle exponential user growth and new services heading for the Cloud. Using multicore software techniques to find your packet performance sweet spot is now key to designing competitive products that deliver the breakthrough performance, scalability, and the intelligence to enable new services. Join Intel and Wind River for a technical look at the multicore software design options available today that can dramatically improve packet performance and system scalability. The webinar will analyze three different multicore approaches, the benefits and the limitations. What You Will Learn: Identifying and resolving know system bottlenecks Design considerations for Symmetrical vs. Asymmetrical multicore processing The advantages of adding the Intel Data Plane Development Kit to Linux SMP Achieving maximum performance and scalability with an fully integrated asymmetrical architecture like the Wind River Network Acceleration Platform What You Will Learn: Software Architects Software Engineers Product Managers Network System Architects Service Providers/Operators technical decision makers Presenters: Mark Guinther Product Line Manager, Wind River Mark Guinther is Product Line Manager for Networking, overseeing Multicore Networking at Wind River. He has over twenty years of experience in the data/ voice/wireless networking industry including management positions at Alcatel and FORE Systems.
