AMD announced the initial lineup of keynote speakers for the 2013 AMD Developer Summit, APU13. The third annual three-day event will be held in San Jose, Calif., Nov. 11-14, 2013, where AMD and industry leaders will delve into key market trends regarding next generation software and computing experience development, the emerging Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) standard, and the latest in the use of industry-standard application programming interfaces such as OpenCL™, Microsoft DirectCompute and C++ AMP.

ARM® TechCon 2013 is “Where Intelligence Connects.” By bringing together software and hardware communities with ARM Ecosystem Partners and ARM technology, this year’s event uniquely connects talents cross functionally to ignite progressive design optimization and accelerated time-to-market launches. ARM TechCon’s learning ground as such is designed with combined sessions for chip designers, system implementation engineers, and software developers in a shared venue, facilitating communities’ interaction, learning and collaboration. ARM TechCon Call for Abstracts includes 15 tracks that reflect this theme, giving you a broader and deeper audience to present to and collaborate with. Do you have proven innovation applications and plans that incorporate ARM innovation? Review the tracks and submit by May 31 for ARM TechCon 2013, which starts October 29-31, 2013 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Neil Trevett will be the Keynote speaker at the Low Energy Application Parallelism (LEAP) Conference in the UK.
