THE PROGRAM FOR Hot Chips 21 was just released, and it is, umm, hot. The show will have speakers from Chuck Moore to Jen-Hsun Huang, and will cover chips from Atom to Power 7.
The conference, held at Stanford University from August 23-25, 2009, is one of the things to do this summer if you are interested in chip architecture. The breadth of topics and the depth that presenters go to is unmatched elsewhere, and it is all moderated by people at the top of their game.
Take a look at the schedule, printed below, you are almost guaranteed to find something you like. When you do, sign up here, see you thereS|A
