Xilinx to Keynote Bits and Chips Hardware Conference

Posted by Ken Cheung in Event on Thursday, June 12, 2008

Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) will be attending the Bits & Chips Hardware Conference 2008 on June 19, 2008 in Eindhoven. The conference will feature a keynote by Xilinx CTO Ivo Bolsens on the future of FPGAs, as well as see demonstrations of its industry-leading programmable technologies — including the Virtex-5 FXT platform optimized for embedded processing, serial-connectivity and DSP applications.

The Bits and Chips hardware conference is the meeting place for high tech professions from the world of high end embedded systems. The central themes of the event this year are FPGAs, high speed board design, RF design and IC design. The conference combines an extensive exhibition with an independent lecture program of in depth technical presentations.

Keynote - FPGA: The future platform for transforming, transporting and computing
9:00 a.m.
Ivo Bolsens, CTO, Xilinx
As the use of FPGAs in hardware design rapidly increase, the use of these flexible platforms become more pervasive in markets such as automotive, consumer electronics, industrial and medical. Bolsens will discuss the direction for FPGAs as they evolve to solve the challenges for transforming and transporting computing. He will describe the design methodologies, power consumption and memory performance required in hardware design.
