Creating FPGA-based Co-Processors for DSPs Using Model Based Design
Avnet Electronics Marketing is offering a 2-day Co-Processing SpeedWay Design Workshop, titled “Creating FPGA-based Co-Processors for DSPs Using Model-Based Design.” Engineers from Avnet and The MathWorks will present the 2-day, hands-on workshop, which features Model-Based Design using MATLAB and Simulink from The MathWorks to accelerate real-time image processing. Participants will explore video motion estimation algorithms and determine optimal partitioning between a Texas Instruments DaVinci DSP and co-processing performed by the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA. The practical hands-on labs showcase automatic code generation for the DaVinci and Spartan-3A DSP FPGA, demonstrate co-processor memory mapping to the DSP, and implement hardware co-simulation over Ethernet. The workshops are being offered throughout North America, Europe and Asia beginning December 1, 2008.
