Dual-core processor boosts power efficiency
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor LV 2.0GHz is a member of Intel's growing product line of multicore processors.
The series kicks off its 90-city global tour in Beijing on 3rd April 2007 and continues until 13th July in locations throughout Europe, Asia, Japan and North America.
In Europe, Avnet EM's Silica business unit will manage the entire X-Fest series in 25 locations.
The one-day seminars will offer several 90-minute training courses, designed to provide specialised training on design solutions for FPGA circuitry and the components surrounding FPGAs.
Delegates will also have access to partner demonstration exhibits (varying by location) sponsored by Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Intel Flash Memory Group, Micron, Sharp, LynuxWorks, Synplicity, The MathWorks, PLDA and Lauterbach, which offer a unique opportunity to explore some of the latest design solutions.
"Joining forces with Xilinx and our valued partners has allowed us to build an event where an entire ecosystem of providers will showcase the latest design solutions that integrate with Xilinx FPGAs", said Tim Barber, Vice President of Global Xilinx Marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing.
"In an intense, single-day format, design engineers can connect with multiple suppliers to explore the latest breakthroughs in the FPGA design space".
Delegates will leave X-Fest armed with the tools and practical knowledge necessary to tackle new and existing design challenges for embedded processing, DSP, power supplies, memory interfaces and analogue front ends.
"X-Fest will deliver a deep dive into the key technology domains where Xilinx FPGAs deliver unique, high impact capabilities, such as embedded processing, digital signal processing, serial connectivity, and logic design", said Omid Tahernia, Vice President and General Manager of the Processing Solutions Group at Xilinx.
"The use of multiple learning tracks comprised of very technical 90-minute solution modules will allow designers to explore and assess how these breakthrough solutions can be applied to their own design innovations".
