Demonstration Environments
In addition to substantive technical sessions, the conference had three areas for in-depth training and demonstration of Power Architecture technology.Power Architecture Lab
Hands-on Power Architecture Lab provided users up close and personal looks at some of the most flexble and innovative development and processing platforms in the industry. Trainers walked users through real-world development projects and imparted helpful tips along the way.
Power Architecture Landscape
The Power Architecture Landscape provided an open environment for interacting with a variety of product and technology demonstrations from more than 20 vendors. In this exhibit area, users engaged with industry leaders and experts to discuss shared design challenges and explore the vast landscape of possibility with Power Architecture technology.
Power Architecture Lounge
In order to let users experience the more playful side of Power, attendees spent a lot of energy testing out the Power-based Sony PlayStation® 3, Microsoft Xbox 360™, and Nintendo Wii™..
Special Thanks.
We appreciate everyone who was able to contribute and make this one of a kind opportunity to exchange powerful ideas such a tremendous success in our maiden voyage. If you have any feedback on the conference or ideas, please send an email to PADCinfo@power.org. We'd love to hear from you.
