SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera
Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced the launch of the Altera
SoC Developers Forum (ASDF). These inaugural events in Silicon
Valley; Frankfurt, Germany; and
Shenzhen, China bring together
partners, developers and engineers who are focused on using
fine-grained heterogeneous computing technology in ARM-based SoC
FPGAs to address next-generation embedded computing applications.
The ASDF provides an environment where system architects, hardware
engineers, software developers and firmware engineers can
collaborate, discuss ideas and challenges, and learn the latest
technology and SoC FPGA product news from Altera and its
partners.
ASDF includes two technical tracks focused on hardware design
and software development. Attendees will receive in-depth technical
information through breakout sessions, hands-on workshops and
keynotes. The ASDF also includes an exhibit hall with the latest
technical demonstrations from industry leaders such as Arrow
Electronics, Cytech, EBV, ARM, Lauterbach, MathWorks, Terasic, Wind
River, and more.
ASDF is the industry's first developers forum dedicated to
investigating the technology and application of SoC FPGA usage in
the Internet of Things (IoT), data center, cloud computing,
networking, communications, industrial, automotive and other
applications. Fine-grained heterogeneous computing using FPGA
fabric allows developers to tailor acceleration to address specific
tasks, thus improving system performance and reducing power.
Developers and innovators will join Altera and ARM ecosystem
experts for this one-day event to exchange ideas on using SoC FPGAs
to create customized, differentiated accelerators.
The 2015 ASDF is being held in three locations worldwide:
ASDF Silicon Valley takes place September 30, 2015 in Santa Clara, Calif.; ASDF Europe takes
place October 14, 2015 in
Frankfurt, Germany; and ASDF
Asia takes place November 3, 2015
in Shenzhen, China.
"We launched the ASDF as a result of the critical mass of SoC
FPGA developers, users and partners that has formed since the
launch of our ARM-based SoCs," said Chris
Balough, senior director of marketing, SoC products, at
Altera. "ASDF is a single-purpose event targeted at sparking
collaboration and innovation among Altera's SoC FPGA
community."
ASDF sponsors include Arrow Electronics, Cytech, EBV, ARM,
Lauterbach, MathWorks, Terasic, Wind River Systems, Aspen Core, Mentor Graphics, Micron, SLS and
ReFLEX. The regional ASDF events are also supported by several
regional sponsors.
"The Altera SoC Developer's Forum provides a great opportunity
for embedded system developers to engage with experts and get
in-depth exposure to Altera's ARM-based SoC FPGAs," said
Greg Provenzano, vice president of
global semiconductor at Arrow Electronics. "Attending the ASDF will
help deepen users' engagement with industry experts and make it
easier to design around Altera's world class ARM-based SoC FPGA
architecture."
