Internet Seminar - What is it?In July, 1997, Xilinx, in cooperation with Marshall Industries![]() ![]() ![]() If you are teaching any course using Programmable Logic, Xilinx's University Program offers hands-on workshops in many locations around the world to help you get started. But if you cannot attend one of these workshops, the Internet Seminar is an excellent alternative. The instructional purpose of the Internet Seminar is very similar to that of our regular workshops and seminars. In addition, the XUP Internet Seminar is unique and entertaining since it utilizes leading edge internet technologies. The Internet Seminar is a virtual seminar which enables instructors
or students anywhere with an internet connection to join in and learn about
Xilinx Programmable Logic. The original live seminar was broken into three
parts and performed twice to address two time zones - Asia as well as the
Americas/European time zones. Each live performance consisted of a pre-event
chat session, a formal audio and visual presentation, and an interactive
Question and Answer session. Now the event has been archived for your use,
but the experience is just as real !

Updates to the July, 1997 Internet SeminarSince the seminar was produced in July, 1997, some information from the seminar has changed.The major changes since the Internet Seminar are:
While this may sound like a drastic move, Xilinx's overall plans for reconfigurable computing are actually very encouraging. Xilinx is taking many of the innovative features of the XC6200, such as dynamic and partial reconfiguration, and incorporating those into its mainstream product families. Specifically, the new Virtex family, which begins shipping in the second half of 1998, will encompass these features and add other capabilities so that dynamically reconfigurable logic can become mainstream. Unlike the XC6200, Virtex will be part of Xilinx's standard Foundation and Alliance software, and it will be supported by other industry standard tools and many 3rd parties. |
