Subject: CTC IEEE SP/COM Society Meeting - NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME

Greetings!

The Central Texas Chapter of the IEEE Signal Processing/Communications
Society invites you to attend our monthly meetings and presentations.

NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME

This month the chapter is inviting all new society members and people
interested in joining the society to attend the meeting.  We have an
exciting presentation planned by Chris Pettey, CTO of Banderacom, about the
new InfiniBand communication standard.

CURRENT MEETING

DATE       June 21, 2001   6:30 PM

LOCATION   SBC Technology Resources, Inc. (SBC-TRI)
           9505 Arboretum Blvd, Austin, Texas

TOPIC      InfiniBand

SPEAKER    Chris Pettey, Co-founder & CTO of Banderacom

           Prior to founding Banderacom, Chris was a SMTS for Jato
           Technologies, a fabless semiconductor startup developing Gigabit
           Ethernet controller silicon.  Formerly a SMTS for Compaq
           Enterprise Computing Division, Chris has been involved in the
           development of many large scale networking and server
           architecture platforms. He holds 9 patents, including joint
           holding of the Registered Bus Protocol patent, key to the PCI-X
           specification.


ABSTRACT   InfiniBand is a next generation communication standard optimized
           for distributed I/O systems.  InfiniBand utilizes a transport
           protocol designed to externalize the semantics of an operating
           system.  This presentation will describe the InfiniBand
           architecture and the requirements of a distributed I/O system.
           This presentation will further discuss the aspects of the
           InfiniBand transport and the aspects of that transport that make
           it especially suited for hardware acceleration.

*********  The presentation is open to chapter members and non-members.
*********  Free food and beverages will be served to attendees.

RSVP       If you plan to attend, please send e-mail to Howard Headrick
           at hfrjr at swbell.net for planning purposes.
