Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have a reputation for being difficult to program, requiring expertise in specialty languages, like Verilog or VHDL. Easing the programming burden is key to ...

Data-centre equipment manufacturers have long been keen to take advantage of the massive parallelism possible with FPGAs to achieve the processing performance and I/O bandwidth needed to keep pace ...

Graphical tools for system design are also available for FPGA programming. These software tools are now being created to work closely with FPGA-based hardware platforms to make custom hardware even ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

With last week's big Altera acquisition Intel made an expensive bet on a future of data center hardware that uses significantly more customized designs than today's monolithic racks of commodity x86 ...

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 ...

Fig 1. Altera’s NIOS II Embedded Evaluation Kit is a platform for checking out the 32-bit NIOS II soft-core processor. Fig 2. Microsemi’s SmartFusion Evaluation Kit has an FPGA with a hard-core Arm ...

It used to be that designing hardware required schematics and designing software required code. Sure, a lot of people could jump back and forth, but it was clearly a different discipline. Today, a lot ...

Most everyone would agree how important FPGA prototyping is to test and validate an IP, sub-system, or a complete SoC design. Before the design is taped-out it can be validated at speeds near real ...

Flex Logix has developed embedded FPGA IP (EFLX® embedded FPGA or eFPGA) that has been licensed for use in many commercial, aerospace and defense programs. It has also developed an edge inferencing ...

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today announced availability of the latest version of its popular FPGA design ...
