FPGA Frontrunner Meet & Greet

FPGA’s became his thing in the 1990’s and Steve worked with all the FPGA manufacturers except Altera. Moving on from component distribution Steve has worked at component kitting and PCB assembly companies, and having worked for large multinational companies and smaller privately owned businesses, has given Steve a wide view of the component market place and the challenges faced by companies, and having run his own manufacturing consultancy since 2020 has given him an understanding of the small business sector.

Steve loves the electronics industry and technology in general, is passionate about UK manufacturing and how we can build more here instead of losing it to offshore competition, is a champion of startup’s and innovation. And if you want an opinion on something, just ask him

...followed by creating a System Level Testing group to test these Bridge/Routers in complex networking scenarios.

Tony moved to Quickturn Design Systems before Quickturn merged with Cadence Design Systems. Tony is a Technical Director at Cadence Design Systems with a long history of focussing primarily on HW based verification using Emulation and FPGA Prototyping.

Tony has responsibility for Technical Engagements for any HW based verification project/engagement within EMEA.

Presentation: 500M Gates in FPGAs (FPGA Prototyping)

A few years ago the concept of running Billions of gates on an FGPA System would have been mind boggling.

This Cadence Presentation will offer an overview of the Protium™ Enterprise Prototyping Platform for fast hardware and software verification.

We will review the traditional prototyping challenges of complex SoCs using a 5G AI-enabled mobile SoC case study—RTL changes required for clock management, memories, interfaces, multi-FPGA partitioning, and multi-user support.

You will learn how the Protium X2 features and solutions solve these challenges while accelerating the hardware/software co-design verification schedule.
