You will not receive any more of this type shit
from me.
I too am tired - very tired as my only son passed
on to another world yesterday.
I have been reviewing my presentation for the
Microprocessor Forum 2001 over and over using an overhead projector. This
represents the culmination of 7 years of work. Time sure does fly.
Over this time the improvements of FPGA's has been astronomical since their
introduction in 1988-1989. The only thing I can say about Xilinx is their
performance gain has resulted from 0.18UM silicon. One of my fellow logic
designers selected them - he made far tooo many errors in his initial
designs.
I chose Actel because they were a faster
family. He won that argument because of re-programmable ability - same as
PAL's at the time.
When I return from San Jose next week I will
prepare for you fellows a complete summary. Back to work.
Regards
Dick Hartney
