Advanced Design Techniques for FPGAs Web Seminar

Presented by Altera and ModelSim

With every new design, your challenge gets bigger. You're faced with creating a better solution in half the time. Advanced design techniques & high performance devices can take you to the next level in FPGA design. Whether you're tackling thousands or millions of gates, you'll approach design from a whole new perspective. Learn how to apply advanced design techniques for creating, debugging & simulating your next design.

The seminar will discuss the latest design features and devices to take you to the next level, including exploiting advanced verification techniques to more efficiently manage functionally verifying millions of gates. Join us for this seminar on June 20th!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Verification North America Seminar Tour

Having a very bad day? Your last chip required a respin, you just realized that there's a whole class of bugs that your testbench just isn't set up to catch, and to top things off, you don't have enough verification engineers to write all the tests you're going to need.

DON'T PANIC!

Your only chance for survival: hitch a ride with a friendly team of verification experts. With The Hitchhiker's Guide to Verification seminar, you'll set out on a journey in which you'll find the secret to Life, the Universe and Everything (or at least the secret to Testbench Automation, Reuse, and Functional Coverage).

Set up mostly in two parallel tracks, the day will begin with an introduction to Mentor Graphics' Advanced Verification Methodology (AVM), which greatly facilitates the development of transaction-level testbenches that can be used to verify designs at multiple levels of abstraction.

2006 Dates and Location:

San Jose, CA – June 6th
Austin, TX – June 8th
Boston, MA – June 13th
Irvine, CA – June 15th
Toronto, Canada – June 20th

Improve Your Productivity with the Right Verification Methodology Seminar

In this one-day seminar, you'll discover how the right verification methodology is key to understanding and productivity between your design, verification, software and systems teams. Our Verification seminar will teach you everything you need to know to apply the latest verification techniques to solve your most pressing problems.

Set up mostly in two parallel tracks, the day will begin with an introduction to Mentor Graphics' Advanced Verification Methodology (AVM), which greatly facilitates the development of transaction-level testbenches that can be used to verify designs at multiple levels of abstraction. After that, we break into two more-focused tracks.

Date and Location:
June 30th, 2006 – Bangalore, India

Partitioning and Synthesizing ASIC Prototypes Using FPGAs

Online - June 7 at 11:00 am PDT

If you are designing an ASIC, a re-spin due to verification errors can result in millions of dollars in cost and schedule overruns. More and more ASIC designers consider prototyping in FPGAs as a way to reduce risk and verify design functionality before committing to silicon. Using Altera FPGAs and Mentor Graphics synthesis tools, you can now fully realize the promised benefits of prototyping and thus ensure that your ASIC designs will work as intended, on time and within budget!

Design Creation to Realization from ModelSim Designer Seminars - France

This seminar will introduce, ModelSim Designer, a complete FPGA design environment. Our focus is on improving your productivity which means the complete process of creation, management, simulation, and implementation is controlled from a single user interface, facilitating the design flow and providing significant productivity gains. Single environment means a shorter learning curve so you can realize your vision faster.

6/14 - Toulouse, FR
6/15 - Montpellier, FR
6/20 - Meudon-La-Forêt, FR
