Topic:FPGA’s in 2016
Abstract:Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) today are used in many varied applications, including ASIC emulation, robotics, cellphone base stations, electronic test equipment, medical equipment, and military equipment.  They are used anywhere re-programmability is desired.  Their flexibility is desirable for many applications.  This presentation is an overview of present day FPGA technology and application with a focus on the Xilinx FPGA family,  Xilinx is a leader in programmable logic technology with over 51% of the market today(Wikipedia). Slides
