For several years, GPU acceleration matched with Intel Xeon processors were the dominating news items in hardware at the annual Supercomputing Conference. However, this year that trend shifted in ...

Intel Corp. has spent a lot of effort pushing the concept of its Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which can be used to accelerate various computing tasks such as artificial intelligence and machine ...

FPGAs are being chosen more and more frequently to comprise the heart of the modern electronic system. There are several possible reasons for this – low cost, ready availability and increasing ...

The folks from Altera have just announced a development program focused on the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) standard for FPGAs and SoC FPGAs(see also OpenCL gets upgrade, Altera tips FPGA tool).

Every new hardware device that offers some kind of benefit compared to legacy devices faces the task of overcoming the immense inertia that is imparted to a platform by the software that runs upon it.

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an increasingly popular tool for applications where high performance, low latency and power efficiency are requires. Since an FPGA can be ...

In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Robert Roe explains how OpenCL may make FPGAs an attractive option. In January 2015, FPGAs took a step closer to the mainstream of ...

High-level synthesis to the rescue? You might be surprised at how hardware designers are getting new value from HLS when designing systems with FPGAs. The numbers of applications using FPGAs are on ...

How FPGAs allow for the implementation of a reconfigurable SDR that’s scalable and can adapt to an unlimited number of transmission standards and techniques. How FPGAs are programmed. Important ...
