    Power.org Pavilion -- Booth #1231
    Xilinx will showcase PowerPC(TM) embedded processing capabilities with
Xilinx Virtex-4 programmable system platforms. The Virtex-4 with immersed
PowerPC(TM) processing cores enables high performance embedded design via
co-processing code accelerators utilizing FPGA hardware and an Auxiliary
Processor Unit controller.

    Xilinx ESL Initiative
    ESC attendees can learn first-hand how Xilinx and ESL tool providers are
driving innovation through collaboration. For more information on the Xilinx
ESL Initiative and a complete list of participating companies, visit:

    Celoxica, Ltd. -- Booth #129
    FPGA co-processing can speed embedded system performance by 10x or more.
Celoxica will highlight a low-cost ESL Starter Kit which combines Xilinx
Spartan-3 development board with everything needed to program the FPGA from C
code. Celoxica will also demonstrate the design and implementation of video
and imaging algorithms compiled to development boards featuring Xilinx Virtex
devices.

    CriticalBlue -- Booth #3205
    Critical Blue provides a co-processor synthesis solution that accelerates
CPU binary executable code by offloading slower portions to a Xilinx FPGA.
CriticalBlue will show a practical example of an imaging application being
offloaded and accelerated in Xilinx FPGA fabric. In addition to the basic
flow, CriticalBlue will show the full range of software and hardware tradeoffs
which are available to end users.

    Teja Technologies -- Booth #3323
    Achieve Gigabit packet processing line rates more quickly by taking
advantage of the flexibility of C software running on a flexible embedded
multicore engine in a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA.
