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 ...

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 ...

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE--(Marketwired - October 17, 2017) - Accelize®, a leading enabler of workload FPGA Acceleration-as-a-Service, today announced it has joined the expanded Intel FPGA Design ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intel today unveiled new field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) – the Intel Agilex FPGA family – for data- and compute-intensive workloads like artificial intelligence (AI) across the network, cloud, ...

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 ...

As data centers are called upon to handle an explosion of unstructured data fed into a variety of cutting-edge applications, the future for FPGAs looks bright. That’s because FPGAs, or field ...
