Day 1: Technical Tutorial – Synplify Pro
This course first introduces the Synplify Pro tool. The course will familiarize students with the FPGA design flow utilizing features of the Synplify Pro product, enabling them to actively create designs using the Synplify Pro product. The course then expands on these concepts to focus on complex design techniques, debugging and high performance design.  All topics covered in this course will aid the student for day 2 – ESL Synthesis Tutorial for DSP Algorithm Implementation.

Instructor: Philipp Jacobsohn Philipp Jacobsohn has been a Senior FAE at Synplicity since March 2001, during which time he has been instrumental in the development of customer bases in the Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and BeNeLux area. Since then, he has helped establish Synplify Pro and Synplify Premier as the market leading FPGA Synthesis tools whilst also managing the introduction of all other FPGA, ASIC Prototyping, and ESL products into these customer bases. Philipp has been working with FPGA technologies since 1994, whilst supporting Altera technologies within the SEI-Elbatex corporation.

Day 2: Technical Tutorial – ESL Synthesis Tutorial for DSP Algorithm Implementation
New tools for implementing DSP algorithms into FPGAs and ASICs are making it much faster and easier to go from high level models into silicon, including the ability to perform architectural exploration and evaluate speed and area tradeoffs quickly.  This session provides a tutorial on using Synplify DSP, how some of the commmonly used optimizations work and how they can be applied automatically to high-level algorithm models built with Synplicity's Synplify DSP library and Mathworks Simulink. The seminar will include examples in wireless communications and will benefit engineers who are interested in:

• Methods to rapidly create implementable aglorithm models
• Architectural exploration and analysis
• Creating portable algorithmic IP that are re-usable across FPGA and ASIC technologies

Instructor: Pierluigi Lo Muzio Pierluigi Lo Muzio graduated in Electronics Engineering at the University of Pisa (IT) and joined Philips Research in 1988. After 1 year working on HD-TV in Nat Lab Eindhoven, Pierluigi continued in Monza (IT), actively contributing to several European Research Projects in the role of DSP Project Leader.  Pierluigi has spent many years working with well known European firms such as ST. Microelectronics and Thomson Multimedia as DSP Architect and Project Leader in the fields of optical recoding, wireless systems, digital televisions, and FPGAs.   Pierluigi has authored several papers presented at International Conferences and has won some patents in the DSP field.  In 2005 Pierluigi joined Synplicity as DSP Specialist, in the European Sales Headquarter, Munich.  Currently Pierluigis role is to manage the deployment of the new Synplicity ESL products in the European market.
