Configurable analog ICs have been available in various forms for years, seemingly making less of an impression on the market than their digital cousins, FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). The ...
ICs and SoCs are utilizing a range of processing elements that allow them to optimize current workloads while hedging their bets for the future. What used to be a simple choice between an ASIC, FPGA, ...
Semiconductor company Xilinx is taking the wraps off of its software programmable chip design that it claims is part of an entirely new computing category. It's called the Adaptive Compute ...
A couple of weeks ago SDxCentral learned that Marvell was discontinuing the Xpliant programmable chip line it got through its acquisition of Cavium. And the news provoked readers to ask: “What does ...
Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) house the logic for the FPGA. Typically, these CLBs contain enough logic to create a small state machine. A CLB normally contains RAM to create arbitrary combinatorial ...
Nine months ago, Intel made Altera -- its unit that produces programmable chips -- a standalone business -- with the intention of spinning it public in 2026. On Monday, Altera executives showed off ...
Complex FPGAs are increasingly taking on the characteristics of complete systems-on-a-chip, including embedded memory and processors, specialized I/O, and multiple differentiated power and ground ...
The advent of big data era raising significant challenges in information processing, especially in the aspect of capacity and power consumption. Situations become even worse when we consider the fact ...
