Keynote 1 — Moore´s law, programmable logic and reconfigurable systems

Summary form only given. Moore´s Law continues, but for how long? Many are predicting the end, or at least the slowing, of semiconductor scaling even as FinFETs are being introduced. New technologies, such as 3D integration, offer new opportunities for silicon vendors and customers. These technology trends are converging on Programmable Logic. FPGA vendors are changing the way they build their products and those changes are being reflected in the architecture and tools that surround those products. These products enable new capabilities for reconfigurable systems. This talk describes the technological pressures and opportunities for programmable logic vendors and highlights recent product trends and what they indicate for the future of programmable logic the future of reconfigurable systems built on it.
