Free software licenses and operating systems like GNU/Linux make it possible to learn programming and customize state-of-the-art software in countless ways. Hacking software, however, isn't the last ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

To make FPGAs accessible to DSP engineers without hardware design expertise, FPGA and tool vendors have developed tools that allow FPGAs to be programmed in high-level behavioral languages such as ...

Metal Copy-28 Matches 28nm FPGA Capabilities, While Significantly Reducing Power Consumption and at a Fraction of the FPGA Unit Price Metal Copy is a low risk and efficient FPGA to ASIC conversion.
