Silicon Convergence: Creating system solution by merging coarse and fine grained programmable hardware

While continuing semiconductor miniaturization enables ever more complex systems, the cost and complexity of system innovation becomes increasingly out of reach.

A standard solution consisting of high performance processors, hardened peripherals, and a programmable logic fabric is ideal to address system integration challenges. Complementary to  similar advances in software, a host of hardware design tools and high-level programming methodologies are also making system design more user-friendly. Together these industry advances allow design teams to flexibly implement any system to achieve the sweet spot of performance and power dissipation according to team capabilities.

In his talk, Ty Garibay will share Altera's view on silicon convergence, the integration of SoC and FPGA, and the direction the company is taking to increase system design efficiency through the use of high-level design languages and tools.

Speaker: Ty Garibay, Altera Corporation.
