DSP for FPGAs

Technical Course on Digital Signal Processing for Programmable Logic Technology

FPGAs with DSP functionalities are a rapidly growing market with great market potential. A broad field of applications reaching from industrial, automotive and even to communication systems like for example base stations, broadcast video SD/HD, image processing, infotainment, communications, radar, sonar and security systems. The growing requirements for processing speeds of the order of 10-100 billions of operations per second, the need for rapid prototyping and software definable architectures will further the penetration of FPGAs into the DSP communication market. In this intensive 4 day technical course DSP for FPGAs we will teach the widespread opportunities of the programmable logic functioning as DSP platform.

Course dates and location

April 15th – 18th, 2008 in Munich, Germany
October 14th – 17th, 2008 in Munich, Germany



The intensive 4 day technical course will present and examine the use of FPGAs for DSP algorithms, applications and architectures. This course will feature the entire software design flow from concept, to bit true simulation, to actual hardware implementation on a Xilinx Virtex II Pro device. This course will be led by Professor Bob Stewart and integrate presentations and design sessions from other experienced design engineers from SteepestAscent. It has been successfully presented in the USA at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) twice per year since 2002, and each year at ISLI since 2004.
