2nd Annual FPGA Virtual Summit Featuring: 4 Webcasts (Tools, Verification, Military, Communications & Video Apps) Plus: RoundTable Webcast "Where FPGAs Fit, Today & Tomorrow" Reservations: April 14th Live Summit: June 23rd *The 2010 FPGA Virtual Event had over 970 Registrants* FPGA technology continues to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible, and designers need to keep up with the latest ideas, techniques, and applications to remain competitive. Conference Concepts and OpenSystems Media are pleased to present the 2011 FPGA Virtual Summit, with experts gathered from across the industry to discuss ideas and trends in topics like video processing, tools to shorten design cycles, verification, and military applications.   Each session is packed with information for anyone with an interest in designing with FPGAs and related IP, tools, or boards/systems, particularly engineers, architects, integrators, and decision makers. Sessions include discussions, presentation material, and a moderator-led Q&A session where the audience can engage with the experts live.   As with all our virtual events, this is a one-day information packed session with access to a range of industry experts and no travel required. Attendance for any or all sessions is free simply by registering below, and only a web browser and phone are needed to attend. You’ll receive full instructions via email as we get near the event day. Please plan on joining us for as much of the day as you can, and we look forward to seeing you there.   Session Information Roundtable Session (4 Positions Available)   Where FPGAs Fit, Today and Tomorrow  Thought leaders will engage with the moderator in a wide ranging discussion looking at a variety of ideas for how FPGAs compete in a range of embedded solutions. How and why will higher density devices compete with multicore processor solutions? Where can FPGAs take communications and video processing? What about lower power solutions, or unique ideas like touch interface targeting mobile devices? Or is it simpler to use platforms that offer innovative ways to reduce BOM cost? Today’s best FPGA ideas and the vision for the FPGA technology of tomorrow are all on the roundtable for discussion – take a seat and shape the conversation. Themed Technical Sessions (3 positions available per track) Session #1 FPGAs in the Signal Path: Comm and video apps Whether it’s communications or video, FPGAs are showing up more and more in the signal path because they offer performance to handle the load and flexibility to address a wide variety of signal processing tasks. IP and libraries, development kits, and board/system level solutions available today for innovative communications and video applications based on FPGAs let designers focus on getting the job done fast.  Session #2 Faster FPGA Design Cycles: New thinking in tools As densities and speeds continue to increase in FPGAs, tapping the full capability requires new thinking in FPGA tools. A look at the latest in modeling, coding, prototyping, and simulation ideas along with creative IP solutions shows how bigger designs can be implemented in less time with more confidence. Session #3  Inside FPGA Verification: First time, every time Verification is one of the hottest topics in the EDA community today, but applying tools and methodologies targeting the nuances of FPGAs takes some unique understanding. Creative approaches in verifying functions, interfaces, timing, and overall behavior of IP combined in an integrated FPGA solution, whether simulated or at-speed, have emerged to help designers get exactly what they expect out of their designs first time, every time. Session #4 FPGAs Join the Military: Handling rugged requirements Designers of military embedded systems tend to need everything they can get and more, and FPGA technology has responded with more features than ever. Increased densities, faster SERDES and clock speeds, radiation hardening, integrated processor cores, signal processing IP, FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC), and better hooks into DO-254 and ARINC-653 compliance are just some of the technologies involved in making FPGAs the right choice for today’s military use.
