FPGA accelerators are the trend for next-generation computing. If you want to show-off your exceptional programming skills and your creativity, and even change the world, participate in Innovate Canada FPGA Programming Competition! This event is sponsored by Altera, Impulse and IEEE.

You have to come up with an innovative idea to develop applications on Altera FPGAs. Examples include medical imaging, financial modeling and face recognition. The deadline to submit your proposal is January 25, 2008. Once your proposal is accepted, you will receive educational material, development software from Altera and Impulse, and a DE1 Altera Development kit to keep.

Thanks to Impulse, you don't have to be a HDL (Hardware Description Language) expert to win. The Impulse software is able to convert your code in C into HDL, with optimization in parallelization and pipelining.
