CONCORD, N.H., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BittWare, a Molex company, today unveiled the IA-840F, the company's first Intel® Agilex™-based FPGA card designed to deliver significant ...

Since their beginnings, FPGA’s have been notorious for being hard to program. That could be changing with the new Vitis Unified Software Platform from Xilinx. Five years in the making, the Vitis ...

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.

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 ...

A unique programming interface promises to make it easier for C/C++ developers to take advantage of the LabVIEW FPGA Module and FPGA-based hardware for embedded control and acquisition applications.

Choosing to add programmable logic into an SoC with an eFPGA is just the beginning. Other choices follow involving how many lookup tables (LUTs), how much routing and what topology, how will data be ...

Why it matters: Even though the tech industry has been giving a lot of attention to semiconductors recently, most of it has been focused on the big ones: GPUs, CPUs and now NPUs. Often lost in the ...
