Microsoft and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have announced a new course that provides students with the skills to succeed in functional consulting.

The Graduate Certificate in Business Consulting and Technology Implementation has been co-designed by Microsoft and UTS in collaboration with leading services firms Avanade, Capgemini, and EY. The course melds technology skills with human-centric skills – like creative thinking, adaptability and emotional intelligence – to fill a growing gap in the market for business and technology consultants.

Through the graduate certificate, UTS aims to produce 1,200 graduates who can deliver solutions with Microsoft Dynamics and other platforms. The course will be delivered online and take eight to ten months to complete on a part-time basis, enabling learners to work while they study.

The first global cohort of lifelong learners will begin their studies in October 2022.

Based on forecasts by International Data Corporation, spending on customer relationship management and low-code solutions is expected to grow approximately 20% year-on-year until 2024. However, businesses may face a lack of talent – to meet demand, an estimated 286,000 additional skilled technology workers are needed over the next two years, according to the Tech Council of Australia.

Tiffany Wright, Director for Education at Microsoft Australia and New Zealand: “Organisations…are looking to grasp the huge opportunity offered by business applications, but a lack of skilled workers puts this at risk. The Graduate Certificate helps provide students with real-world skills and experience that they can put to use straight away.”

Glenn Wightwick, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Enterprise at UTS: “The Graduate Certificate… brings together the expertise of our world-class educators at UTS in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and UTS Business School, the advanced technologies of Microsoft and the valuable real-world experiences of EY, Capgemini, and Avanade. We at UTS are proud to launch this course, and excited to welcome the first cohort of students in October.”

The University of Technology (UTS) is ranked in Australia for AI Research, Computer Science and Engineering. Discover more at Virtual Open Day http://www.uts.edu.au/virtualopenday.

EdTech Unicorn EEO to Build a Globally Connected Lifelong Learning Ecosystem

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — On July 20th, EdTech unicorn EEO opened a new office in Seoul, Korea. EEO is in partnership with over 60,000 institutions across more than 150 countries, hosting 20 million users. As global businesses expand, EEO, parent company of ClassIn, announced plans to move the overseas headquarter to Singapore in the second half of 2022. The company will proceed to further localization and serve its clients from bases in China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Philippines.

“Korea as a country highly values education, and with the pandemic, educators are picking up on the major impact education technologies have on the development of education,” Jaeeun Im, country manager of Korea at EEO, maintained. “We are witnessing increasing demands in the market for professional education products like ClassIn.”

Jaeeun expressed high expectation for the launch of ClassIn in Korea. She introduced that ClassIn’s interactive classroom is equipped with more than 20 teaching tools, an IM system, assignment and exam functions, as well as a backend school management dashboard. Additionally, it has been proven in numerous learning scenarios across 150 countries that ClassIn helps deliver more effective and personalized instruction. A well-rounded interactive virtual classroom, ClassIn not only brings engagement and creativity to online learning, but it also affords the innovation of different class designs and pedagogies through hybrid methods.

In the meantime, ClassIn is undergoing an exciting round of iteration. After eight years of exploration into hybrid learning, EEO believes that “The true value of hybrid learning lies in connecting students to the real world and diverse schools of thought, prompting more discussion and reflection. In turn, students are equipped to break down physical and cognitive barriers to exploring the unknown.” Designed with a firm grasp on the learning process, the new and improved ClassIn will support hybrid learning environments, prioritize discussions and collaborations, enable formative assessments, and give rise to long-lasting learning communities. In particular, users will be part of the ClassIn Learner Hub, where both independent and community-based learning are supported with abundant learning materials and evaluation methods.


Looking to work with global educators to reach a more inclusive and equitable future in education, EEO is committed to continuously improving its products. Specifically, the company will update ClassIn with regard to valuable customer feedback, creating an enriched teaching experience for educators and supporting students on the path of lifelong learning.

S2C Shines at DAC 2022 with its New Prodigy Player Pro-7 Prototyping Software, Multi-FPGA Prototype Hardware Platforms, and Complete Prototyping Solutions

Leave a comment

Stand-Out Veteran Provider of FPGA Prototyping Solutions

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The 59th Design Automation Conference returned to San Francisco’s Moscone Center this year to notch almost six decades of week-long immersion in EDA technology and market trends, combining keynote presentations by industry luminaries with the “DAC Engineering Track” technical presentations and the EDA tool-provider exhibits for in-person exchanges of EDA user-needs and the latest EDA solutions.  Attendance by exhibitors, and EDA tool end-users alike, was noticeably improved from last year’s conference but still below pre-COVID levels.  The Moscone Center neighborhood provided a less than inviting convention venue as San Francisco recovers from COVID’s decimation of the convention-generated commerce around the Center marred by heavily littered streets, a very noticeable presence of “street people”, and the closure of many name-brand businesses that are normally sustained by the “collateral business” generated by convention attendees.

Despite the lower DAC attendance, S2C saw a marked improvement in the quantity and quality of visitors to the S2C booth.  S2C highlighted its latest hardware and software and provided interactive demonstrations of its Prodigy MDM Pro multi-FPGA debug tools and its Prodigy ProtoBridge high-throughput channel for the transfer of large amounts of transaction-level data between the FPGA prototype and a host computer – both demonstrations running on S2C’s Quad Logic System prototyping hardware featuring Intel’s massive Stratix GX 10M FPGAs.

S2C took the opportunity at DAC to roll out its newest version of its prototyping software Prodigy Player Pro-7.  The new software suite includes Player Pro-RunTime, for prototype platform control and hardware test; Player Pro-CompileTime, with enhanced automation of multi-FPGA partitioning and pre/post-partition timing analysis; and Player Pro-DebugTime, for multi-FPGA debug probing and trace viewing with S2C’s class-leading MDM Pro debug tools.

With an emphasis on large-scale SoC design prototyping, Player Pro-7 offers enhanced support for multi-FPGA implementations, including:

  • RTL Partitioning and Module Replication to support Parallel Design Compilation and reduce Time-to-Implementation
  • Pre/Post-Partition System-Level Timing Analysis for Increased Prototyping Productivity
  • SerDes TDM Mode for Optimal Multi-FPGA Partition Interconnect and Higher Prototype Performance

S2C displayed a number of its latest prototyping products in its DAC booth this year, including the Prodigy Logic System 10M based on the industry’s largest FPGA, Intel’s Stratix 10 GX 10M. Also on display were S2C’s Xilinx-based prototyping hardware, the Prodigy S7-19P Logic System, and the S7-9P Logic System, both getting their fair share of DAC attendee attention.

The highlight of the S2C booth was the new Prodigy Logic Matrix LX2.  Based on Xilinx’s largest Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA, the LX2 boasts eight VU19P；for expansion beyond eight FPGAs, up to eight LX2s can be housed in a single standard server rack, extending prototyping gate-capacity up to sixty-four VU19P FPGAs. For expansion beyond eight FPGAs, the LX2 architecture is designed for prototyping with up to eight LX2’s in a single standard server rack, extending prototyping gate-capacity up to sixty-four VU19P FPGAs.  At this level of FPGA prototyping density, hardware quality and reliability become first-order considerations, and S2C’s 18+ year proven track record of delivering high-quality prototyping hardware sets a high bar for other prototyping solutions.

To enable users to configure prototyping platforms quickly and reliably, S2C displayed a sampling of its Prototype Ready IP in the booth.  Prototype Ready IP are off-the-shelf daughter cards designed by S2C to plug-and-play with S2C prototyping hardware platforms.  The daughter cards are designed to attach reliably to the FPGA prototype hardware and compose a rich collection of prototyping functions, including High-Speed GT Peripherals (Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI, SATA, high-performance cables, etc.), General Peripherals (GPIO, USB, mini-SAS, JTAG, RS232, etc.), Memory Modules (EMMC, DDR, SRAM, etc.), ARM Processor Interface Modules, Embedded and Multimedia modules (DVI, HDMI, MIPI, etc.), and Expansion and Accessories modules (FMC-HPC Converters, Level Shifters, I/O Test Modules, DDR Memory Modules for user-supplied external memory, Interconnect Cables, Clock Modules, etc.).

The Prodigy MDM Pro demonstrations at the booth showcased the implementation of S2C’s multi-FPGA debug tools for prototyping with a combination of external hardware, soft IP implemented in the FPGA, high-speed FPGA I/O, and debug configuration software (Player Pro-DebugTime).  MDM Pro was designed specifically to support multi-FPGA prototype implementations – with support for high probe-counts, deep-trace debug data storage, optimization of debugging reconfiguration compiles, and with the ability to choose debug configuration tradeoffs to optimize prototype performance.  The Player Pro-DebugTime software supports user-friendly debug configuration, complex trace-data capture triggering, and single-window viewing on the user console of simultaneous streams of trace-data from multiple FPGAs.  MDM Pro hardware supports high-performance deep-trace debug data storage without consuming internal FPGA storage resources.

S2C also demonstrated its Prodigy ProtoBridge in the DAC booth to showcase its off-the-shelf solution for a high-throughput channel (4GB/second) between the FPGA prototype and a host computer for the application of large amounts of transaction-level test data to the FPGA prototype – such as processor bus transactions, video data streams, communications channel transactions, etc.  ProtoBridge uses a PCI-to-AXI interface implemented in the FPGA and connected to the user’s RTL as an AXI-4 bus.  ProtoBridge includes a set of C-API function calls to perform AXI bus transactions in the FPGA prototype, a PCIe3 driver for Linux or Windows operating systems to control Logic System operations, C-API reference operations with sample access to FPGA internal memory, and an integration guide on how to connect the user’s RTL code to the ProtoBridge AXI-4 bus module.

Overall, DAC 2022 was a successful conference for S2C, firmly establishing S2C as the leading independent FPGA prototyping supplier, with the strongest track record of delivering complete prototyping solutions worldwide.

The FPGA prototyping hardware and software displayed at DAC are available now. For more information, please contact your local S2C sales representative, or visit www.s2cinc.com
