	Info

	The RAMP Bootcamp is designed to familiarize the graduate students with the RAMP Design Framework and associated tools. In particular, we are aiming to use the RAMP Description Language (RDL) to build a system based on the Gaisler LEON-3 processor and IP library. The bootcamp was in Austin, TX from March 21st through March 25th. Through the planning and during the bootcamp we will wanted to accumulate our results in a single document which is also availible from the publications page. However time constraints turned this into a presentation instead. Finally, we posted a few pictures of graduate students in action.

We will also go out for drinks afterwards a few nights, so plan on coming out to experience the best cuisine and atmosphere downtown Austin has to offer.
