Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2007

Xilinx ESL for FPGA Initiative Members at Embedded Systems

Have you ever wondered how FPGAs can help you to accelerate your sotware algorithms easily? How about High Level Languages for FPGA Design and Embedded Processing? Maybe you heard about ESL for FPGAs and how it can shorten the design and verification cycles and would like to learn more!

Then, come and meet with Xilinx ESL for FPGA Initiative Members at ESC - California on April 3, 4 and 5 at McEnery Convention Center, San Jose California, Exhibition Hall - Xilinx Booth # 724.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest development in ESL for FPGA tools and solutions that Xilinx ESL Initiative Members have been developing in partnership with Xilinx. Here is the date and time for participating Members. Click on company name to learn more about the member’s ESL solution for Xilinx FPGAs.

ESL Demonstrations

Also, be sure to attend the following partners demonstrate their ESL solution for Xilinx at their own booths.

Celoxica

• Celoxica will be demonstrating their RCHTX acceleration board which contains two Xilinx Virtex™-4 devices for implementing the co-processing user logic and system communication interfaces. The RCHTX cards fit into Hypertransport slots on high-end computing systems and are used as co-processors to AMD Opteron processors.  Please stop by at booth 1438 and see live - orders of magnitude acceleration of applications for financial analysis and for oil and gas seismic exploration.
  
  Be sure to attend the informative  “ESL and FPGAs – a Perfect Match” presentation by Steve Lass, Sr. Director of Xilinx SW Marketing and Executive Sponsor of Xilinx ESL for FPGA Initiative Program at Celoxica booth on Tuesday April 3 at 4:00 PM and Wednesday April 4 at 1:00 PM .

CriticalBlue

• CriticalBlue will be demonstrating their Cascade tool that accelerates embedded software by generating programmable, application-optimized coprocessors for implementation on Xilinx Virtex and Spartan™ FPGAs. Cascade for Xilinx works with PowerPC®, MicroBlaze™, and ARM processors, allowing software to be accelerated without modification while fitting naturally into established software and FPGA development flows.  Please stop by at booth 1926 and see live acceleration by Cascade of audio and video applications on Xilinx Virtex-4 ML405 board.
