Accelerate Networking Application Development with the Xilinx ARM Cortex-A9 processor-based Mutli-core Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC

Today's network applications are experiencing explosive traffic growth that demands fast and flexible convergence of compute & networking to secure the cloud infrastructure.  This session will explore the use cases of applying the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC in wired networking applications, providing solutions much faster and more customizable than alternative SoCs.

Wednesday, October 31

11:30 a.m.12:20 p.m., Grand Ballroom E

Real-Time and Multi-core Processors – Helping Them Work Together

This session will examine architecture techniques for increasing real-time capability in multi-core systems including use of co-processors, asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) and FPGA programmable logic. These techniques provide implementation options for solving signal conditioning problems and facilitate meeting real-time performance requirements more predictably. Specific use cases and examples will be provided.

Thursday, November 1

10:30 a.m.11:20 a.m., Ballroom G

A Case Study on Mapping Physical Simulation Algorithms to Heterogeneous Computing Platforms Utilizing Multi-core CPUs, Compute Accelerators and/or FPGAs

The speakers will discuss process and implementation strategies that enable the development of custom high-performance parallel computing solutions utilizing application specific hardware units in emerging architectures with multi-core CPUs, GPUs or FPGAs such as Xilinx's Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC. Industry experts will present a practical algorithmic case study that serves to illustrate how an algorithm can be designed, partitioned and mapped to leverage the various computational elements of a heterogeneous architecture such as an All Programmable SoC.

1:30 p.m.2:20 p.m., Grand Ballroom E

Accelerating Multimedia Performance of Your ARM Processor with a Co-processor

Discussion topics for this session will include different methods for attaching accelerators to processors such as the ARM Cortex™-A9 and the tradeoffs for each use case. The latter portion of the session will explore the implementation of a real-world processing problem and how software tasks were accelerated with programmable logic accelerators tightly coupled to an ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 processing system.

2:30 p.m.3:20 p.m., Grand Ballroom B

Low-Power and Multi-core Processing: Optimizing Performance and Power with Programmable Systems

This session examines the integration of ARM processors, power domains, clock management, and co-processing offloading into FPGAs, which enables dramatic reduction in system power for high-performance applications. These techniques yield an order-of-magnitude less power, as computational tasks requiring tens or hundreds of watts with a general-purpose processor can be managed via an ARM Cortex-A9 processor system integrated with programmable logic.

3:30 p.m.4:20 p.m., Ballroom G

Algorithmic Acceleration of Processing Systems Using High-Level Synthesis

This paper discusses how system designers can rapidly build efficient, high-performance, customizable single-chip processing systems using Xilinx's latest All Programmable SoC technology.
