When you first learn about digital logic, it probably seems like it is easy. You learn about AND and OR gates and figure that’s not very hard. However, going from a few basic gates to something like a ...
At the recent Hot Chips conference, three of the world’s largest datacenter companies detailed projects that exploit Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as accelerators for performance-hungry ...
Although chiplets have recently broken into the semiconductor limelight in a big way, Intel’s Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) has relied on chiplet technology for its Field Programmable Gate Arrays ...
Like many a decade ago, we were enthusiastic about the prospect of triple-hybrid systems in the datacenter. We were convinced that there was a place for CPUs, for GPUs, and for FPGAs in complex and ...
One of the exciting trends in hardware availability is the inexorable move of FPGA boards and modules towards affordability. What was once an eye-watering price is now merely an expensive one, and no ...
Emulating video game consoles via software has been a popular way to enjoy retro gaming for some time now. Software emulation of consoles works by convincing a ROM (or read-only memory, copied from a ...
FPGAs are getting larger, more complex, and significantly harder to verify and debug. In the past, FPGAs were considered a relatively quick and simple way to get to market before committing to the ...
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 ...
