FPGAs are being chosen more and more frequently to comprise the heart of the modern electronic system. There are several possible reasons for this – low cost, ready availability and increasing ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an increasingly popular tool for applications where high performance, low latency and power efficiency are requires. Since an FPGA can be ...

For several years, GPU acceleration matched with Intel Xeon processors were the dominating news items in hardware at the annual Supercomputing Conference. However, this year that trend shifted in ...

Getting into FPGA design isn’t a monolithic experience. You have to figure out a toolchain, learn how to think in hardware during the design, and translate that into working Verliog. The end goal is ...

It’s been a few years since the introduction of the first Open Source toolchain for FPGAs. You would think a free and Open way to program FPGAs would be a boon for hardware development, but so far ...

Embedded designers have implemented heterogeneous architectures since the advent of commercially viable FPGAs. Initially, FPGAs acted primarily as glue logic for an interface between processing ...

Intel Corp. has spent a lot of effort pushing the concept of its Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which can be used to accelerate various computing tasks such as artificial intelligence and machine ...

The quest for better throughput, faster changeover times, and less waste and downtimes has made machine-automation systems more complicated. Besides handling logic or process controls, systems today ...

Since their beginnings, FPGA’s have been notorious for being hard to program. That could be changing with the new Vitis Unified Software Platform from Xilinx. Five years in the making, the Vitis ...

Altera, a developer of FPGA innovations, has launched the Altera Solution Acceleration Partner (ASAP) Program, an initiative designed to help companies accelerate innovation. Partner Program looks to ...
