SAN JOSE, Calif., September 8, 2004 - Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX)
today announced plans to showcase the latest advancements in embedded
processing development at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston
next week. The Company will host a series of 90-minute technical
workshops, in addition to in-booth product demonstrations and theatre
presentations. Xilinx representatives are also actively involved
in technical conference paper and panel sessions.
Xilinx Hands-On Workshops
- Implementing a PowerPCTM System with Floating Point Co-Processor
on the Xilinx Virtex-II ProTM FPGA
Demonstrate the ease of rapidly building a processor-based system
utilizing the embedded PowerPC 405 processor and interfacing a
floating point co-processor implemented in FPGA logic. Learn the
PowerPC system architecture and Xilinx solutions for system implementation
and debug using the latest features in the Xilinx Platform Studio
Tool Suite. Build a PowerPC system with XPS Base System Builder,
run a software based FIR filter, and experience the acceleration
provided by adding a floating point co-processor. This implemented
system will illustrate how easy it is to connect the PowerPC to
user or third party IP for hardware acceleration of software.
| Location: Room 104 |
Tues., 9/14: |
12:00noon - 1:30pm

- Learn How to Use the MicroBlaze Fast Simplex Link to Accelerate
Hardware
Accelerate time critical software algorithms by converting them
to custom hardware logic functions. The Xilinx MicroBlaze Fast
Simplex Link (FSL) is a high-speed, dedicated point-to-point communication
link to custom hardware logic functions. Optimize processor architecture,
accelerate application software and make hardware-software tradeoff
decisions early in the system design phase. Use Xilinx Platform
Studio to design with the MicroBlaze FSL interface to accelerate
critical functions without impacting processor performance while
improving system performance.

In-Booth Theatre Presentations Every 30 Minutes
- What is a Platform FPGA?
- Xilinx Embedded Processing Solutions
- Platform Studio: Create an Embedded System in Just Minutes
- XtremeDSP - Performance, Value, Easy
Product Demonstrations in Xilinx Booth #401
- Platform Studio Embedded Tool Suite
The Xilinx Platform Studio will be used to create an embedded
hardware/software/IP system and boot a real-time operating system.
We will show how Platform Studio accelerates embedded processing
development for programmable systems via the IDE, as well as powerful
design wizards and module generators.
- Implementation of a Dual PowerPC System with a Floating Point
Co-Processor
Explore the power and ease of creating a dual PowerPC processor
system with floating point co-processor using the Xilinx Platform
Studio tool suite. The implemented system will illustrate how
users may easily connect the PowerPC to custom IP such as a Floating
Point Unit. The compute acceleration of FPGA implemented co-processors
will be clearly demonstrated via a signal processing FIR filter
being run both in software and then utilizing the floating point
co-processor.
- Hardware Acceleration with MicroBlaze Fast Simplex Link
Demonstrate hardware acceleration capabilities of MicroBlaze FSL.
Featured applications include MP3 decode acceleration with MicroBlaze
FSL and low cost embedded microprocessor design accomplished with
the MicroBlaze processor on the Xilinx Spartan-3 Evaluation board.
- Xilinx ML401 Virtex-4 Evaluation Platform: The Low Cost,
Full Feature FPGA Development System
The ML401 Virtex-4 Evaluation Platform is the ideal platform to
evaluate and implement your Virtex-4 FPGA design. Explore the
Virtex-4 features such Source Synchronous IO, Per Bit Deskew,
BRAM FIFOs, Xesium Clock Technology and XtremeDSP.
- System Generator for DSP: The World's Premier Tool for High-Performance
DSP Design
The Xilinx System Generator for DSP is the industry's premier
DSP tool for developing high performance DSP systems onto FPGAs.
See how this tool can be used to develop DSP functions and peripherals
that can interface to Xilinx microprocessor solutions like MicroBlaze
and the embedded IBM PowerPC 405 cores.
