- High performance processing solutions
- Programmable system design solutions
"Xilinx's strong commitment to collaborating with technology
leaders has resulted in innovations that are significantly
impacting the electronics industry," said Wim Roelandts,
president and CEO at Xilinx. "This event will be the culmination
of many industries providing leading-edge solutions for
our mutual customers."
"Last year, Xilinx pioneered training engineers through
worldwide simulcast events including the XtremeDSP Technical
Simulcast, Home Networking Forum, and Terabit Networking
Forum which together trained over 11,000 engineers," said
Babak Hedayati, senior director of Product Solutions Marketing
and Partnerships at Xilinx. "Post event surveys showed that
98% of participants would attend these events again, demonstrating
the value of this type of training. Given its comprehensive
focus, Programmable World promises to be the best event
of its kind."
The event will allow engineers to choose from over 20 hours
of technical sessions as well as technical demonstrations
and exhibits. Engineers can expect to learn about:
- Implementing extreme processing using high performance FPGA fabric and 300MHz PowerPC processors
- Designing 40+ Gbps applications with next generation 3.125 Gbps serial I/O technology
- Implementing programmable TeraMAC/s DSP systems
- Optimizing performance through dynamic (re-)partitioning of hardware and software - throughout the entire design cycle
- Debugging hardware and software in parallel, in a system at full-speed
- Maximizing system performance while reducing total system costs
