The processor powering your mobile phone may soon outperform the one in your laptop or even desktop.  While years ago, it was inconceivable that GHz processors could be utilized let alone manufactured for such form factors, today they are becoming ubiquitous.  However, 10+ GHz of combined processor performance will not matter without also enabling a more compelling mobile experience while addressing the challenges this creates.  This talk will cover current trends and technologies seeking to utilize the available processing power and possible solutions to address the challenges imposed by the mobile form factor.


Speaker Bio:  Since joining Qualcomm in 1995, David Hansquine has designed
 various wireless modem and microprocessor-related blocks while leading more than a dozen ASICs for both mobile handsets and infrastructure products.  He was responsible for several of Qualcomm’s first WCDMA chips, then later led the team delivering Qualcomm’s first GHz and quad-core application processors for smartphones and tablets.  David is a VP of Technology leading a R&D team focusing on processor research investigating novel circuit and architecture techniques to optimize power and performance in mobile devices.  On the side, he likes to dabble in developing Android apps.  David has a MS in Electrical Engineering from UCSD in California.  He has 11 patents plus several pending.
