There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

One of the interesting challenges in the semiconductor space these days is getting a design right, because the cost of making mistakes is rising at each new process node and as more and more ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. FPGAs are wonderful tools. They consist of a collection of logic cells called lookup tables (LUTs) surrounded by an ...

Altera's 1 GHz Stratix 10 FPGAs can now incorporate four, ARM Cortex-A53 cores using Intel's 14-nm Tri-Gate transistor technology. Figure 1. The Stratix 10 FPGA will be available with a quad core, ...

Intel builds processor chips and Arm provides processor cores to integrate into chips. Xilinx and Intel (nee Altera) build FPGAs and a range of new startups provide embedded FPGA (eFPGA) to integrate ...

What is the biggest factor affecting the productivity of FPGA design cycles? Many designers say achieving timing closure is critical in getting a design to market – and with good reason. Achieving ...

Lattice SEMICONDUCTOR believes it can compete with Altera and Xilinx in the FPGA market through the growing trend towards embedding hardwired cores, according to the firm’s CEO, Cyrus Tsui. “The field ...

Editor's note: In this second installment of a four-part series on debugging FPGA designs, author Brad Frieden explains that when debugging an FPGA-based system, it can be very helpful to look at key ...

Achronix has made FPGA cores available for the FPGA acceleration of SoCs. “We are putting Speedcore on die today – we’re already shipping to multiple customers,” Robert Blake, CEO of Achronix ...

Here at Ars, we’re big fans of situations where emulation creates a classic gaming experience that’s actually better than what you could get with original hardware in some way or another. In the past, ...
