Journal Webcasts Monthly Update - July 2009





Hi, I'm Amelia Dalton, host of Journal Webcasts. This month, we have an exciting lineup of new Chalk Talk webcasts. I talked with experts from several companies and dug up design tips that you won't find anywhere else. Tim Vanevenhoven tells us about saving power in FPGA-based DSP designs, Hement Shah discusses getting your PCB and FPGA design environments to play nicely together, Frank Shirrmeister explains virtual platforms, and Juergen Jaeger chats with me about rapid prototyping. I had a blast making these Chalk Talks, so pull up a browser and join me!

 

NEW! Power Estimation in a High-Level DSP Design Flow. Want your DSP design to consume less power? Join Amelia Dalton as she talks with Tim Vanevenhoven of Xilinx about new methods for estimating and reducing power consumption in FPGA-based DSP designs. (Xilinx)

Managing the Unmanageable.
Poor quality of results and long runtimes have unfortunately become all too familiar to FPGA designers trying to achieve design closure. Because designs have increased in size and complexity, and devices have grown in capacity and features, FPGA implementation can at times seem daunting. Attend a series of Precision Synthesis webcasts to learn how innovations in FPGA synthesis are helping users manage these seemingly unmanageable challenges. (Mentor Graphics)
