FPGA Central

The International Symposium on the Future of Configurable Hardware

Organised by: The ACES research network and the Gent University
Date: Tuesday, 6th of December 2005
Location: Het Pand, Onderbergen 1, 9000 Gent, Belgium
Website: http://www.elis.ugent.be/FCH

Every year we organize a free symposium on some hot topic in computer
science. Previous editions explored such subjects as modern
processor architectures, new trends in compiler technology, Java and
embedded systems ... The goal of the symposia is to reach a broad
audience while still providing sufficient technical depth to satisfy
everyone. The next edition of our symposium focuses on the future of
configurable hardware. This one-day symposium is free and open to
all.

Presentations:

o André DeHon, California Institute of Technology: 'Compute Models,
System Architectures, and Design Patterns for Reconfigurable
Computing'
o Bingfeng Mei, IMEC: 'ADRES Reconfigurable Architecture and Its
Compilation Techniques'
o Mike Hutton, Altera: 'The Design of Modern FPGA Architectures'
o Steve Wilton, University of British Columbia: 'Power-Aware
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Techniques for FPGAs'
o Jos Huisken, Silicon Hive (Philips Research): 'Design Methodology
for ANSI-C Programmable Co-Processors'
o Adam Donlin, Xilinx: 'New Tools for FPGA Dynamic Reconfiguration'
o Johan Van Praet, Target Compiler Technologies: 'Design of
Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors using a
Retargetable Compilation Flow'
