The spring Microprocessor Forum has issued a call for papers. Acknowledging that consumer applications are “currently driving a majority of the innovation” in microprocessor technology, event sponsor In-Stat is emphasizing consumer electronics-oriented papers for this year's event, which is scheduled for May 21-23 in San Jose, Calif.

Prospective presenters are asked to provide technical insights into such topics as:

• Multicore processors and enabling technologies
• General purpose low-power embedded
• General purpose high-performance embedded
• Consumer electronics and other application-specific processors
• Imaging and video DSP
• IP and tools for system-on-chip (SoC) design
• Breakthrough technologies for future semiconductor design and manufacturing

Additional areas of interest include:

• Processors and related technologies for PCs, workstations, and servers
• Embedded processors
• Network processors
• DSPs
• Reconfigurable computing
• Programmable multimedia processors

Priority will be given to presentations offering significant technical information not previously disclosed. Proposals will be kept confidential, and can be preceded or accompanied by appropriate NDAs (non-disclosure agreements).

Proposals will be automatically considered for presentation at the International Microprocessor Forum, in Tokyo, Japan as well, although acceptance into the San Jose event does not guarantee acceptance into the Tokyo event, In-Stat says.

The application deadline is Feb. 9. Additional details, and an application form, can be found here.

Last year's Fall Microprocessor Forum focused on power efficiency.
