FPGA 2010: Call for Participation

Eighteenth ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays

Registration and hotel information are now posted. The early conference registration deadline is January 22nd, and the early hotel registration deadline is January 31st. Register soon!

The ACM/SIGDA International Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays is the premier conference for advances in all areas related to FPGAs and FPGA technology. Please join us this February in Monterey, California. The preliminary program, hotel and registration, travel, and directions information are now available for FPGA 2010!

The FPGA 2010 program includes papers from academia, industry, and research labs covering a wide array of topics, ranging from high-level synthesis, to FPGA-enabled accelerators, to reliability issues, to reconfigurable architectures and logic. Several cutting-edge applications are represented as well.

The pre-conference interactive workshop centers on the topic of open-source for FPGAs. The workshop starts at 2pm on Sunday, February 21st at the conference location. The workshop is chaired by Shep Siegel (Atomic Rules) and Mike Wirthlin (BYU). Workshop speakers include Derek Chiou (University of Texas), Ian Mackintosh (OCP-IP), Matt Ettus (Ettus Research), Javier Serrano (CERN), Jim Kulp (Mercury Federal Systems), John Lockwood (Algo-Logic Systems), and Jonathan Rose (University of Toronto).

This year's panel, chaired by Kess Vissers (Xilinx) will discuss using high-level languages to describe high-performance signal processing systems. These systems are often complex, requiring a great deal of design effort and expertise. The panel will discuss advancements in synthesis of high-level languages and the current status of using these languages to decrease the design time of high-performance signal processing systems. Panelists include Devedas Varma (COO, AutoESL), Vindo Kathall (CTO, Synfora), Jeff Bier (CEO, BDTI), Don MacMillen (VP Software, Stretch), and Joseph Cavallaro (Professor, Rice University).
