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 ...

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 ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

Custom or proprietary digital protocols are commonly used in today's world for device or sub-system communication in everything from Aerospace to Consumer Electronics. Many of these applications also ...

Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...

How FPGAs allow for the implementation of a reconfigurable SDR that’s scalable and can adapt to an unlimited number of transmission standards and techniques. How FPGAs are programmed. Important ...
