Industry leaders share their insights about processor and software-processing architectures and the impact they have on system and software development. Relevant architectures include microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), multiprocessor architectures, processor fabrics, coprocessors, and accelerators, plus embedded cores in FPGAs, SOCs, and ASICs. Moderated by EDN Technical Editor Robert Cravotta.

Ray Simar is currently responsible for enhancing Texas Instruments digital signal processing solutions by developing advanced architectures for diverse applications.In 1997, Simar was elected to TI Fellow in recognition of his pioneering work on DSP technology.
He is the chief architect and program manager of the high performance TMS320C6000 DSPs that were announced in February 1997.The C6000 DSP is based on VelociTI, an advanced very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture, to achieve very high performance at low cost.
Simar joined TI in 1984.Before the 'C6000, he was the chief architect and program manager for the floating-point TMS320C3x and TMS320C4x DSP devices.
Simar received his Bachelor of Science degree at Texas A&M University and Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from Rice University.Simar holds more than 10 patents in DSP technology.
Stay tuned for his next topical post, which will focus on the impact that process technology will have on the future of the semiconductor industry.
