Don't Forget to Check Out the Technology Theater!

After hearing the buzz in this morning's keynote about the new Zynq technology from Xilinx, I decided to head down to the Technology Theater to listen to Yvonne Lin talk more about how it can solve embedded application challenges ranging from industrial automation to industrial imaging. Now I know that Zynq is like having a microprocessor with an FPGA wrapped around it, rather than embedded inside it. I also got to hear all about the advantages Zynq offers over ASIC, ASSP, and 2-chip solutions.

I hope you'll stop by the theater over the next two days to take advantage of one of the many other sessions offered. In fact, you should head down there right now to check out the Industrial Robotics Applications With Intel Processors happening at noon!

The great thing about this venue is it's less formal than the technical sessions and hands-on presentations, so even if you're running late, it's easy to slip in, grab a seat, and hear a quick talk on topics ranging from the Hermes Spacecraft Project (today at 12:30!) to how you can get real about teaching science and engineering (tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.!).

Here's the remaining Technology Theater lineup:
