Complexity of systems implemented using FPGA's are exponentially growing in a rapid pace. As a result of it most of the common design issues that a designer come across with ASIC SoC are becoming relevant with FPGA as well. Beginning with the Virtex 4 and now with Zynq UltraSoc, there is considerable processing power on the compute side. A simple migration is in insufficient to achieve the same performance as discrete chips. Estimating or identification of system performance and crucial bottlenecks much before writing RTL not just reduces the development time but also increases the Quality of Results. During this event we will be talking about how performance analysis and architecture exploration in the early stage of system development ensures that you select the right FPGA platform and achieve optimal partitioning of the application onto the fabric. These system level models generally do not need the implementation level details such as the application software, pin level connectivity and detailed signal data. The models developed at this stage can be used for product specification development in order to select the right platform, end-to-end latency, hardware and software partitioning. In this Webinar, we shall demonstrate the performance with various hardware-software partitions for variety of user cases and workloads. We shall also look at the latency time and the power consumed for different configurations of buffering, DDR memory interface and FPGA-FPGA synchronization. Takeaways: 1. Detection of synchronization errors with system-level modeling 2. Performance improvement using the on-FPGA processors such as PowerPC and ARM 3. Partitioning the application or protocol between the soft-core processors and Fabric 4. Memory controller algorithm for control algorithms 5. Determine the utilization and effective throughput across the hardware resources Webinar provides significant information on the deciding factors while selecting a FPGA or designing complex FPGA systems and also significance of system level design explorations much before RTL development. This webinar will be of interest for System Architects, Senior Hardware Engineers and Senior FPGA design engineers. To register, http://mirabilisdesign.com/new/webinar-registration/
