Xilinx PCI Express Starter Kit

Virtex™-4 FX and Spartan™-3 Mini-Modules

Power.org Pavilion – Booth #1231

Xilinx will showcase PowerPC™ embedded processing capabilities with Xilinx Virtex-4 programmable system platforms. The Virtex-4 with immersed PowerPC™ processing cores enables high performance embedded design via co-processing code accelerators utilizing FPGA hardware and an Auxiliary Processor Unit controller.

Xilinx ESL Initiative

ESC attendees can learn first-hand how Xilinx and ESL tool providers are driving innovation through collaboration. For more information on the Xilinx ESL Initiative and a complete list of participating companies, visit: www.xilinx.com/esl

Celoxica, Ltd. – Booth #129

FPGA co-processing can speed embedded system performance by 10x or more. Celoxica will highlight a low-cost ESL Starter Kit which combines Xilinx Spartan-3 development board with everything needed to program the FPGA from C code. Celoxica will also demonstrate the design and implementation of video and imaging algorithms compiled to development boards featuring Xilinx Virtex devices.

CriticalBlue – Booth #3205

Critical Blue provides a co-processor synthesis solution that accelerates CPU binary executable code by offloading slower portions to a Xilinx FPGA. CriticalBlue will show a practical example of an imaging application being offloaded and accelerated in Xilinx FPGA fabric. In addition to the basic flow, CriticalBlue will show the full range of software and hardware tradeoffs which are available to end users.

Teja Technologies – Booth #3323

Achieve Gigabit packet processing line rates more quickly by taking advantage of the flexibility of C software running on a flexible embedded multicore engine in a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA.
