8th MicroTCA Workshop for Industry and Research at DESY
With more than 190 participants from 17 countries, the 8th MicroTCA Workshop for Industry and Research has again been the highlight of the year for MicroTCA developers, suppliers and users alike.
The now well-known format of the event included seven sessions with 40 short presentations (including several keynotes on topics of general interest), an industry exhibition, a comprehensive pre-workshop program as well as tours of DESY and a conference dinner on the MS Hanseatic.
Noteworthy progress has been reported on the Future of MicroTCA. A working group is now being established under the auspices of PICMG with a view to providing more power and increasing internal system bandwidth.
The workshop also saw several contributions from China, where this year the first major MicroTCA event sparked a lot of interest. All presentations can be downloaded from our archive (https://mtcaws.desy.de/contributions/). The next workshop will take place on December 1-3, 2020.

About microTCA...
MicroTCA (Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture) is an electrical and mechanical open standard for managed, compact, modular and high-realiability electronic boards.
Main advantages of MicroTCA are its high modularity and reliability along state-of-the art digital technologies supporting PCIe, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed interconnects.
MicroTCA.4 has rapidly evolved to become a viable standard for demanding applications e.g. particle accelerators, high-energy physics, plasma fusion sources and many more.
For industries with a keen interest in fully managed, compact, modular and reliable computing performance MicroTCA is the platform to trust on!
About the Lab...
The MicroTCA Technology Lab is one of seven Innovation Labs funded by the Helmholtz Association.
DESY together with partners has created this User Innovation Lab.
Our goal is to foster the electronics standard MicroTCA in research and industry. We want to facilitate the use of MicroTCA and support new and existing users of the technology with our products and services.
