Join us for the 2nd semiannual RAMP Retreat to be held at the University of California Berkeley Clark Kerr Campus,
in the Garden Room, January 10-12, 2007. This is an exciting opportunity to engage with the RAMP faculty, students, and staff, and industrial affiliates who share the RAMP vision of developing
a shared FPGA-based technology that will allow emulation of massively parallel multiprocessor systems.
Please note that attendance is by invitation only.
The retreat will consist of talks, posters, demonstrations, and breakouts sessions. Meals will be provided each day.
A registration fee is required to help us cover the cost of the facility and meals. Participants are required to make their own lodging arrangements.
The Claremont Hotel (a short walk from the retreat) has a special rate of $159 per night for UC Berkeley affiliates. Please mention that you are
affiliated with the University when you make your reservations to get the special rate. Make your reservations as soon as possible as we have not blocked out any rooms.
Don't miss the chance to join us for this by-invitation-only event. Register now.
