For the past several months we’ve been looking into what it takes to write good RTL code. We’ve looked at how to write register-driven RTL, how to write combinatorial processes, and how to write state ...

FPGA design starts are on the rise due to the lower startup costs and re-programmability that FPGA devices can provide. However, large, complex FPGA devices pose significant challenges to an FPGA ...

Software engineers can now map applications coded in C/C++ directly into PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs that are the industry’s lowest-power mid-range fabric solutions for acceleration CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct.

Configurable computing has the potential to provide per-application customizations of a compute environment. Through meticulous and time-consuming algorithm mappings, some configurable implementations ...

Without the development of standard-cell libraries and, subsequently, logic synthesis in the 1980s, the design of today's multimillion-gate SoCs and ASICs would be problematic, if not outright ...

In the early days of digital design, all circuits were designed manually. You would draw K-map, optimize the logic and draw the schematics. If you remember, we all ...

It's critical that the surface of silicon wafers be as flat as possible so that as each metal layer is patterned, you minimize the risk of moving in and out of the focal plane of the imaging system.
