For $99—breakfast, lunch, and hardware included—you can get a day’s worth of exposure to CriticalBlue’s approach to embedded multicore software development. According to Microprocessor Report, CriticalBlue’s Prism is “a code-analysis tool that helps developers extract thread-level and system-level parallelism from legacy programs written in sequential code.” The event is being underwritten by Freescale, which is bundling a TWR-P1025 Tower System based on the Freescale QorIQ P1025 dual-core processor with the course. ($199 value, included with the tuition price.)
You have four chances and North American venues to choose from:
- August 6 in Portland, Oregon
- August 8 in San Jose, California
- August 23 in Huntsville, Alabama
- September 25 in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada’s capital city for you who are geographically challenged)
It looks like the training involves a lot of hands-on labs. Check it out here.
