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 ...

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 ...

Developers of embedded and high-performance systems are taking increased advantage of FPGAs for hardware-accelerated computing. FPGA computing platforms effectively bridge the gap between software ...

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 ...

MyHDL is a Python module that brings FPGA programming into the Python environment. [Christopher Felton] tipped us off about a simple tutorial he just finished that gives an overview of how the module ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

We often think that not enough people are building things with FPGAs. We also love the retrotechtacular posts on old computer hardware. So it was hard to pass up [karlwoodward’s] post about the Chip ...

San Jose, Calif., November 5, 2012– Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced the FPGA industry’s first Software Development Kit (SDK) for OpenCL™ (Open Computing Language) which ...

This course will give you the foundation for using Hardware Description Languages, specifically VHDL and Verilog for Logic Design. You will learn the history of both VHDL and Verilog and how to use ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The current public debate on the future of the semiconductor industry has turned to discussions about a growing selection of technologies that, rather than obsessing on further process geometry ...

Industry-first solution fully explores the design space to optimize hardware/software partitioning SLX automatically inserts pragmas and rewrites code to make it High-Level Synthesis (HLS) ready ...
