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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Xilinx’s Zynq family has been an extremely successful system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA solution. However, as with many FPGA platforms, using this flexible solution can be especially tough when it comes to ...

The DediProg SF600Plus-G2 has evolved from a basic programmer into a high-speed, production-ready solution, thanks to its FPGA-based SOC architecture and recent firmware enhancements. For engineers ...
