The annual Embedded Computing Conference has become an important meeting spot for the Swiss embedded computing industry. Hundreds of experts will be gathering information about the latest developments and exchange views with one another during the exhibition on June 5, 2018 in Winterthur/Switzerland.

Enclustra will be giving a lecture on how to accelerate algorithms with SoCs. FPGAs are great for solving problems that require a lot of computing power. Microprocessors, on the other hand, excel at control tasks and user interfaces. System on Chips like the Intel Arria 10 or the Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC combine both technology in one chip. On the basis of the Mandelbrot calculation the presentation shows, how a mathematically challenging problem can be solved efficiently on an SoC, running Linux (Ubuntu) on the ARM cores and the calculations in the FPGA fabric.
