• High performance digital signal processing solutions
• High performance processing solutions 
• Programmable system design solutions 

"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
