Intel Developer Forum - 16th-18th August 2016

The Intel Developer Forum offers everything you could possibly need to make sure you're at the forefront when it comes to the latest technology.

As well as a world class forum schedule, including a keynote address from Brian Krzanich, the Technology Showcase offers you unprecedented access to the world’s most exciting products. You'll have the opportunity to ask your toughest questions, or find an ingenious solution to your design challenges.

Ready to meet you at the IDF will be the team from Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES). You will find them on stand #730, where you'll be among the first to see the latest and greatest embedded boards and solutions, based on Intel's Xeon D, Atom E3800 and Core i7 processors.

With the acquisition of Altera by Intel, the Altera SoC Developer Forum (ASDF) is now the Intel SoC FPGA Developer Forum (ISDF). ISDF is dedicated to the technology and application of SoC FPGAs across a wide range of design areas, including networking and communications, data centre and cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).

The theme of this year's event is Acceleration:

• Accelerate your design - with hardware acceleration in SoC FPGAs
• Accelerate your development process - with leading edge design tools and ecosystem support
• Accelerate your learning - by attending ISDF 2016

The ISDF16 event is taking place on day 3 of the Intel Developer Forum, and our friends at BittWare will be there showcasing the new Altera Arria 10 PCIe board platforms alongside their OpenCL solutions, including the popular OpenCL Bundle . The bundle includes a BittWare Arria 10 or Stratix V FPGA-based PCIe board, board support package, BittWorks II Toolkit-Lite system development software, Altera Quartus II software, and the Altera SDK for OpenCL.

For more information about the IDF, ISDF or any of the products from BittWare or X-ES please get in touch with the Sarsen Technology engineering team on +1672 511166 or send us an email - info@sarsen.net

FPGA Network – Design Tools & Methodologies

On October 11th the NMI is hosting an event in Swindon which will allow members to share experiences of how FPGA design tools and methodologies impact build schedules, solve difficult problems, affect quality, optimise architecture and bridge hardware and software communities.

This event is ideal for you if you are an architect, designer, verification specialist, project manager or engineering manager and you care about tools and methodologies to help do a better job of creating FPGA designs or systems based on FPGAs.

Confirmed Speakers:

Synopsys: Flexible debug and visibility techniques to enhance all FPGA design and deployment cycles  
Mentor Graphics: Staying competitive by evolving your FPGA verification methodologies
Cadence: 100M gate designs in FPGAs – Fact or Fiction?  
BittWare: FPGA Platform Development Kit Enables Fast TTM  
Telexsus: FPGA real-time debug with vastly increased operational capture time – live demo  
Altera (now part of Intel): Zen and the art of high speed design

We have 5 free tickets for this event. If you'd like to join us please contact Sarsen Technology to register your interest - info@sarsen.net
