Using dual-port memories (“dual ports”) as system interconnects has proven to be an effective interface strategy for bridging multiple processing elements in high-performance applications. Not only do ...

A digital communication system shares many similar building blocks that comprise a digital TV transmission system design. These key building blocks begin with channel coding and modulation techniques.

While techniques such as logic emulation provide a new tool specifically for logic designers, many other FPGA-based systems serve as high-performance replacements for standard computers for everything ...

A US start-up has come up with a twist on the idea of offloading processor intensive tasks to a block of programmable logic. Stretch says programmers can use C and C++ to target its device directly, ...

2. Limitations in FPGA based complex. System Designs Following are limitations usually encountered in any FPGA based complex system designs: Lower correlation of device capabilities such as area and ...

This is almost always an iterative process because it's unlikely you'll get the floor plan right the first time. Some FPGA systems will automatically size regions based on logic consumption and allow ...

The first FPGA was invented by Ross Freeman (cofounder of Xilinx) in 1985 and since then their logic capacity has enhanced greatly and they have become a popular choice because FPGA systems can be ...

IBM has added such scratchpads (not implemented with FPGA logic, mind you) to its System z and Power processors over the years, allowing them to implement new instructions, or create composite ...

Many FPGAs also have hardened processors and other blocks. “In a modern SoC-based FPGA, you’re still heavily reliant on the ASIC portion of the FPGA to bring the part up securely,” noted Oberg. A ...

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning &#82… ...
