When it comes to retro gaming, it can be hard to get your hands on original hardware. Even if you can, most retro consoles don’t jive with modern televisions, so the experience will be noticeably ...

Data-centre equipment manufacturers have long been keen to take advantage of the massive parallelism possible with FPGAs to achieve the processing performance and I/O bandwidth needed to keep pace ...

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 ...

LOS ALTOS, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2014) - Plunify® Pte. Ltd., provider of groundbreaking field programmable gate array (FPGA) software, today announced its InTime™ design optimization software ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Tom De Schutter, Director of Product Marketing, Physical Prototyping, Synopsys Inc. FPGA-based prototyping allows for ...

Why isn’t there a large thriving FPGA software market? After all, something like 95% of semiconductor designs are FPGA so there should be scope for somebody to be successful in that market. If the big ...

The obvious reward for the FPGA prototyper’s hard work is a bug-free Asic design ready in time for the tape-out. However, another benefit of prototyping is that the software embedded into the Asic or ...

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 ...
