The initial era of programmable technologies contained two different extremes of programmability. One extreme was the single-core CPU and DSP units. These were programmable using software consisting ...

Altera is looking to put OpenCL (Open Computing Language) into FPGA hardware. This could give GPUs a run for the money when it comes to accelerating parallel processing. It could also increase ...

Altera has announced general availability of its SDK for OpenCL designed to allow software programmers to more easily offload compute-intensive functions to FPGA hardware. With SDK for OpenCL, ...

The use of FPGAs in HPC is limited less by the capabilities of current hardware and more by the challenges in programming them without sacrificing performance. Recent work from Boston University has ...

Hardware and device makers are in a mad dash to create or acquire the perfect chip for performing deep learning training and inference. While we have yet to see anything that can handle both parts of ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. OpenCL is an open, cross-platform, parallel-computing standard from the Khronos Group. Applications are written in a ...
