I am Bryan DeLuca, along with Nicolette Emmino and we will be your host today for this live chat, “How today’s FPGAs Are Taming the Data Deluge Problem,” sponsored by Mouser Electronics, BittWare and Molex. We have some great panelists, and this is a live chat, so make sure you...
FPGAs are built from one basic "logic-cell", duplicated hundreds or thousands of time. A logic-cell is basically a small lookup table ("LUT"), a D flip-flop and a 2-to-1 mux (to bypass the flip-flop if desired). The LUT can implement any logic function. It has typically a few...
FPGAs can be built to optimize these compute operations through development of the embedded application, rather than through development of custom silicon. Building a system with custom silicon is extremely costly, but implementation with an FPGA is very inexpensive and faster by comparison. More impo...
This article gives a step-by-step instruction how to create a system variable that is then used for the communication between CANoe on one side and the VT System module, where it has been computed by the built-in FPGA, on the other side. Questions: How can I generate and use system ...
In this tutorial we are going to explore what an FPGA is and how they work. I’m going to assume you have a decent understanding of electricity (voltage, current, etc) and binary values. Everything else will be quickly built upon the basics. This is intended as an overview of what an...
Multiple trends are sending FPGAs down two distinct development paths. On one path, FPGAs are being optimized primarily to accelerate data center workloads. The data center focus is the next holy grail that the larger vendors are laser-focused on.
FPGAs enable platform scalability because their cores are scalable. In general, you can turn a high-end FPGA into a low-end one for lower-powered systems. Power solutions with built-in scalability enable the system to scale with little to no redesign. PMICs with external field-effect ...
There are basically three hardware options for interfacing the FPGA to the MCU: programmable I/O (PIO); external bus interface (EBI), if available; and, finally, a dedicated interface between built into the MCU between the advanced high-speed bus (AHB) and the FPGA. Which approach to use...
The CLB holds certain advantages over external CPLDs and FPGAs. Because it resides inside the C2000 device, CLB has direct access to key CPU and peripheral signals without having to account for pin delays. Additionally, a simple built-in HLC processor facilitates data transfer between CLB and ...
Russinovich also outlined a new cloud acceleration framework that Microsoft calls Hardware Microservices. The infrastructure used to deliver this acceleration is built on Intel FPGAs. This new technology will enable accelerated computing services, such as Deep Neural Networks, to run in the cloud withou...
