accelerate your Innovation ™ AdvancedTCA Summit 2007 Leading the Way to New Standards-based Solutions What to Look for in Best-in-Class AdvancedMCs ? A.G. Karunakaran, President & CEO – Sept 19, 2007 | Session 202 – Hardware |

An L&T Infotech Company 2 Agenda ATCA and MicroTCA - Emerging Market Segments What To look For in AMCs, for each Segment Suitable Examples

An L&T Infotech Company 3 ATCA & MicroTCA - Emerging Market Segments Pervasive Computing Web Servers Financial and Scientific Data Analysis Military Aeronautics Thin Client Media Gateways Home Media Centers Telecom & Wireless Infrastructure GPRS Support Nodes- GGSN &SGSN VoIP Gateways and IP-PBX Application Servers IM Media Gateways and MGCF Multimedia Resource Funtions - MRFC and MRFP Broadband Remote Access Servers CSCF &Signaling Gateways Military Aerospace Radio Network Controllers SGSN &GGSN Routers Media Gateway

An L&T Infotech Company 4 What to Look For in AMCs, for Computing ? Performance Density is Crucial Demand for higher performance, in limited form-factor And, Thermal fulfillment is Critical –Speed of operation vis-à-vis thermal balance. Multi-Core Processor is the Key –Multi-core processors Single vs Multiple processors Multiple processors vs Multi-core –Multi-processing capable OS The multi-core processor performance is always predicated upon availability of OS support and intelligent compilers. Asymmetric Multi-processing (AMP) Symmetric Multi-processing (SMP) –Multi-core programming tools Tool chain support (parallel compiler, linker, optimizer, etc)
