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 ...

Flex Logix is offering evaluation licences to SoC designers for block RAM and DSP cores which can be added to its embedded FPGA fabric. Flex Logix’ technology allows system-on-chip SoC designers to ...

LONDON — It's not explicit in STMicroelectronics' press release but the company has incorporated a third-party's embedded FPGA block in its wireless infrastructure "GreenField" chip rather than use ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have provided developers with flexibility. Recently, FPGAs have incorporated system-on-chip (SoC) microprocessors such 64-bit, ARM Cortex-A57 cores. This ...

Today’s high-speed FPGAs have a passing similarity to their older counterparts. However, large arrays of identical lookup tables (LUTs) and interconnect fabrics have given way to high-speed, ...

Security concerns often focus on software being executed on processors. But not all electronic functionality runs in software. FPGAs provide another way to do work, and they can be more secure than ...

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, ...

After three years of research into how it might accelerate its Bing search engine using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), Microsoft came up with a scheme that would let it lash Stratix V devices ...

SAN JOSE: On 28 April, privately held Parallel Engines Corp. announced the availability of a directory indexing over 17,000 IP blocks and FPGA devices. Parallel Engines (Cupertino, Calif.) stated that ...

The performance of dual-ports memory blocks in FPGAs is highly dependent on device utilization and how these blocks are instantiated. Using dual-port memories ("dual ports") as system interconnects ...
