Before you arrive, you have homework:
To participate in the “hands on” portion of this tutorial (3:00 - 5:00) you must bring your own laptop with VMware installed and working wireless network access (802.11).  A local Wifi hotspot will be setup with connectivity to a BEE2 FPGA board which participants will use to write gateware, software, and interactively debug a real hardware transactional memory system.
