SUMMARY:Seeking Judges for SYNOPSYS CHAMPIONSHIP Science Fair\, March 10\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:SF Bay ACM is seeking JUDGES for computer-related science fair projects in the Synopsys Championship science fair. This is a large event (over 1\,000 entries in total) for middle and high school students in Santa Clara County. Many projects can be quite interesting\, involving advanced technologies like AI and Machine Learning. It can be an eye-opening experience to see what middle and high school students in Silicon Valley are working on! Because of the large number of student projects to potentially be judged\, we need several judges. \nOur aim is to encourage students to study in the field of computer science. So\, SF Bay ACM awards cash prizes to students and their teachers in several categories. \nCheck the website for a lot more detail:\nhttps://science-fair.org/\nSF Bay ACM is seeking JUDGES for computer-related science fair projects in the Synopsys Championship science fair.

SUMMARY:The FPGA: 40 Years of Change
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either.\nIn 1984\, the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) was invented at Silicon Valley startup Xilinx by its co-founder Ross Freeman. It was not an obviously good technology as it had serious drawbacks in speed\, cost\, power\, and capacity. However\, its novel design transformed the technology industry as it rode the wave of Moore’s Law. As this transformation was not a straight road\, companies that did not recognize fundamental industry changes created by the FPGA fell by the wayside. If companies did not stretch to find new uses for this technology\, or did not deploy its resources in building a new ecosystem\, they also failed.\nXilinx’s FPGA invention led to the major industry transformation of the Fabless semiconductor model\, and step-by-step Xilinx navigated this field of potential failure. These steps tell of a company growing from a hyper-lean adrenaline-driven startup to a multi-billion-dollar success story. Not every step was correct\, and certainly there was some luck. However\, considerable effort was required to achieve that luck\, and even more effort to capitalize on it.\nIn this talk\, IEEE Fellow Steve Trimberger will discuss change: the changing value of semiconductor scaling\, the changing needs of EDA\, the changing barriers to entry\, the changing application of the technology\, and the changing role of consultants and corporate relationships over the course of many years. These changes got us to 2026 – what change is next?\nPlease note that an IEEE Milestone for the FPGA will be dedicated on Thu\, March 12. Information about attending its dedication online will be available soon.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Steve Trimberger\,\n925 Thompson Place\, Sunnyvale\, California\, United States\, 94085\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/534657
