The First Honest FPGA Pitch
Ok, so maybe I’m exaggerating, but Moshe’s (Xilinx) keynote at SNUG was certainly the first one I’ve seen. In the 1980s, the FPGA marketing establishment started exaggerating their capabilities. Moshe put an end to the exaggerated marketing claims because at 45nm an FPGA had enough gates to do true SoC designs.

EDP 2010 – A Look at the Future of IC Design
This is a Methodologist’s Conference where presenters come in and present their ideas, not necessarily their conclusions, and then let the audience critique their approach. This makes for a rambunctious program. This year’s topics included: What Comes After CMOS and 3D-ICs.

DATE 2009
Dire predictions for DATE were wrong. The technical show was excellent and my favorite part of DATE, the hallway conversations, was as active as always. Reviews Keynotes and Panels. Discusses the relationship between Marketing, Sales and Trade Shows.

Concurrent Memory - A Call to Action
The Von Neumann compute model is the sequential single processor architecture found in most computers today. As the Power problem increased, the semiconductor vendors moved to a multi-core architecture...solving the performance problem but abandoning the Von Neumann architecture...putting into jeopardy all the companies that have made a living based on the Von Neumann compute model; Microsoft, Intel.
