TI Developer Conference 2006

LEADING DSP INDUSTRY FIGURES HEADLINE TI DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE

Buckinghamshire – England
A ‘must see’ interactive workshop on how to deploy powerful DSP and FPGA system solutions using C-based and model-based design will take place at the Texas Instruments Developers Conference. Presented by Flemming Christensen, managing director of Sundance Multiprocessor Technology, and Dr Steve Chappell, director of applications engineering at Celoxica, the workshop is sure to interest researchers, scientists, DSP project managers, engineers and developers, system designers and integrators and developers of high performance embedded systems.
The TI event hits Birmingham on March 30 and the European series also rolls into Paris, Munich and Tel Aviv. The UK event takes place at the National Motorcycle Museum and gives attendees a rare opportunity to see two experienced and talented individuals with such different perspectives combining their expertise to aid developers in solving very complex design problems.
The presentation by Flemming and Steve will show how traditional work-flow barriers have been removed so designers no longer need to choose between either DSP or FPGAs to implement complex algorithms and signal processing systems. “Our technical workshop will present real-time DSP-FPGA design examples from image and video processing to software defined radio (SDR). These will target TI DSPs and Xilinx FPGAs,” explained Flemming.
“Our real-time example will show the development flow from algorithm to implementation using C-based hardware design, integrated with model based design using Simulink. It will guide developers through the complete design flow process highlighting complementary use of DSP and FPGAs,” added Steve.
The TI Developers Conference covers six DSP/FPGA application themes in parallel: video, audio, industrial control, analogue hardware, digital hardware and systems, software and tools. Beginners through to experts can spend a day gaining the latest insights and knowledge from the industry’s leading players such as Sundance and Celoxica.
