An Overview of Xilinx Research Labs

Over the last few years, Xilinx Research Labs (XRL) has expanded to over thirty employees in San Jose, CA, Longmont, CO, Pittsburgh, PA and elsewhere. This talk will attempt to explain why Xilinx has a research group and what that group is doing -- both for research and for Xilinx. The presentation will cover the organization of the labs, research themes and selected projects in Xilinx Research Labs, including multimedia systems, reconfiguration and high-level design.
