Recognized for exceptional FPGA, embedded software, and hardware project innovation with AMD products.

OTTAWA, ON, July 24, 2024 /CNW/ – Fidus Systems Inc., a leading provider of electronic system design and development services, is proud to announce that it has been named an AMD 2023 Adaptive Compute Partner of the Year. This prestigious recognition, announced at the AMD Partner Summit in June, underscores Fidus’s long-standing partnership with AMD, which began in 2002. As a North American Premier Partner since 2012, Fidus competed against 39 other AMD Premier Partners for this coveted recognition.

Fidus completed close to 150 projects in 2023 that leverage AMD technology while also boasting the largest contingent of AMD-certified engineers amongst the competition.

Scott Turnbull, CTO of Fidus Systems Inc., said, “We are honored to receive this award. Our strong partnership with AMD has allowed us to push the boundaries of FPGA, MPSoC, and Adaptive SoC design; this differentiated knowledge ensures our clients receive the best possible outcomes. Our latest work involving the AMD Versal™ device, including its powerful AI Engine (AIE) technology, has been met with an incredibly positive reception. We’re looking forward to continuing to drive success for our joint customers with cutting-edge AMD technology.”

A testament to their capabilities, Fidus recently successfully optimized a Software Defined Radio design using the AMD Versal™ AI Edge Series VEK280 Evaluation Kit, showcasing their expertise in advanced signal processing and AIE integration, alongside embedded software and hardware design. Key elements implemented in the AIE included RLS Decision Feedback Equalization and MLSE Equalization. The operation was validated using a MATLAB® platform-driven golden vector, hardware-in-the-loop approach.

Fidus is committed to maintaining its leadership in supporting AMD technology through ongoing training and close collaboration with AMD technical experts, often gaining early access to new tools and silicon as well as frequent involvement in the alpha and beta phases of development. By working closely with AMD teams, including close collaboration with ‘the Factory’, Fidus provides critical feedback on industry needs and emerging customer requirements to AMD. This collaboration spans across a variety of AMD products, including AMD Zynq™ and AMD Versal Adaptive SoCs, AMD FPGAs (including Spartan™, Artix™, Kintex™, and Virtex™ families), and AMD Kria™ SOMs.

Rhett Whatcott, Director, Global Training & Enablement at AMD said, ” We extend our congratulations to Fidus who has consistently provided expertise across a range of AMD products, including their expertise in designing with Versal devices. Fidus is a key contributor to the success of AMD, and we are proud to recognize them as a 2023 Adaptive Compute Partner of the Year.”

Booking.com’s Latest Travel and Sustainability Research Reveals Australian Generational Paradox

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
