Workshops and Seminars
The most efficient way to learn about the SHARC processor architecture
is by attending a 3½-day (or 1-day) SHARC seminar. These seminars
provide a mixture of lectures and demonstrations. The 3½-day workshop
provides hands-on exercises and serves as an excellent starting point for
both hardware and software development.
A variety of training options are available, both online and in a classroom
setting. For users who prefer live training sessions, a variety of venues is
available.
SHARC Processor Workshops
SHARC processor workshops are designed to develop a strong working
knowledge of Analog Devices processors through lecture and hands-on
exercises in a classroom setting.
These practical courses teach how to use the latest software development
tools. First, the core elements of the processor, which includes the compu-
tational units, the data address generators, and the program sequencer, are
examined along with the relevant assembly code instructions. A number of
simulator labs help in understanding operation of the individual elements.
Memory configuration (both internal and external) is discussed next.
