Business Link: The Magic of Web Marketing Seminar

Nigel attended the Business Link South West "Magic of Web Marketing" seminar presented by Alan Poulton at the Cricklade Hotel & Country Club in Wiltshire this morning. A well attended event with over 60 in the audience from a very broad range of industries. This was the second web marketing event that Nigel had attended and it was a very useful review of the current web world. Alan did a great job and Google seemed to be in every second sentence!

Altera announces next-generation 28-nm Stratix V FPGA family

Altera today announced its next-generation 28-nm Stratix V FPGA family, the industry's highest bandwidth FPGA. Offering up to 1.6 Tbps of serial switching capability, Stratix V FPGAs leverage a myriad of new technologies and a leading-edge 28-nm process to reduce the cost and power of high-bandwidth applications.

Manufactured on TSMC's 28-nm High-Performance (HP) process, the Stratix V FPGA family provides up to 1.1 million logic elements (LEs), 53-Mbits embedded memory, 3,680 18x18 multipliers and integrated transceivers operating up to an industry-leading 28 Gbps. The devices also incorporate the industry's highest level of application-targeted hard intellectual property (IP) for increased system integration and performance without the cost and power penalty. The family includes four variants that address a broad range of applications in the wireless/wireline communications, military, broadcast, computer and storage, test and medical markets.

These variants include:

Stratix V GT FPGA - Industry's only FPGA with integrated 28-Gbps transceivers targeting 100G systems and beyond

Stratix V GX FPGA - Supports a wide range of applications with 600-Mbps to 12.5-Gbps transceivers

Stratix V GS FPGA - Optimised for high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) applications with 600-Mbps to 12.5-Gbps transceivers

Stratix V E FPGA - Highest density FPGA ideal for ASIC prototyping, emulation or high-performance computing applications

"The innovations we made in our fifth-generation Stratix family dramatically improve the density and I/O performance of our high-end devices, further strengthening the FPGAs' competitive position versus ASICs and ASSPs," said Vince Hu, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Altera Corporation. "Altera remains committed to solving the challenge of increasing bandwidth while staying within designer's cost and power requirements. From the core to the I/O, we touched all aspects of Stratix V FPGAs to ensure they deliver the highest level of performance, density and integration."

An array of white papers, videos and technical documentation highlighting how Stratix V FPGAs help solve today's most demanding design challenges are available for viewing on Altera's website. To access these materials and a variety of other information on Stratix V FPGAs, visit Altera Stratix V Documentation

Embedded Live - 20-21 October 2010 - Earls Court London

Looking into exhibiting and/or presenting a paper at Embedded Live in October 2010 at Earls Court. Sarsen Technology used to regularly exhibit at the Embedded Systems Show but we have not done so for the past three years. We would be interested to hear feedback from clients and colleagues.
