Greetings, We are pleased to announce the Intel* IXA University Program IXP425 Student Design Competition. The Intel IXA University Program Student Design competition will allow undergraduate and graduate university students from U.S. Universities to present innovative work based on the Intel(r) IXA architecture, specifically the IXP425 network processor. We have a web-based application process available through the IXAEDU.com website and all entries will be reviewed by an Intel panel of experts. The best qualified selected entries will be awarded grants and IXP425 development kits for the proposed projects. After the selected projects have been completed and submitted for judging, the top two (2) projects will be selected to receive an award presented at the Fall 2004 Intel Developer Forum (IDF). Please note that this competition is available for students enrolled at US Universities only. For complete information please visit http://ixaedu.com/news/DesignCompetition.
