Xilinx and ARM Democratizing Smarter Systems - Showcase at ARM TechCon 0

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) will present and showcase how it is democratizing Smarter Systems with ARM at ARM TechCon 2013. Through a series of demonstrations and presentations, Xilinx will highlight innovative customer and ecosystem products that utilize the Zynq All Programmable SoC. The Zynq-7000 architecture melds a dual-core ARM Cortex -A9 MPCore processing system with Xilinx 28nm programmable logic to create a device family that is hardware, software and I/O programmable. Xilinxs continued collaboration with ARM is integral to the rapid design and implementation of smarter systems in a very broad set of applications, including smarter networks, vision based systems, factories, energy, and data centers.
