What is the Xilinx University Program?

The Xilinx University Program (XUP) was established in 1985 to promote education and
research using Xilinx Programmable Logic Device (PLD) technologies. Today, with 57%
worldwide market share in the commercial FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) market
[In-Stat May '97], Xilinx is also by far the most widely used PLD vendor in the academic
market. We support well over 1,000 universities worldwide with state-of-the-art PLD products
and services. If you are an educator at the college or university level, we strongly encourage you
to participate with Xilinx.

What does Xilinx offer?
Our goal is to help you easily and successfully use Xilinx in order to provide the best education
possible. For your classrooms, Xilinx offers huge discounts on its software and hardware for PCs
and workstations. Windows based software includes schematic entry, IEEE compliant VHDL,
Verilog, and ABEL synthesis, State Diagram Editing, full simulation, and device implementation.
With a clear awareness that many schools do not have funds even for the XUP discounts, Xilinx
also encourages schools to submit donation requests for hardware and software as needed. Xilinx also offers unequaled university support by providing hands-on workshops in locations around the world, presentation materials, on-line example courses, newsgroup and other services.
