Until relatively recently, the majority of FPGA architectures were developed using 4-input lookup tables (LUTs), where each LUT is constructed from SRAM bits storing digital (0 or 1) information. Also ...

This article presents programmable logic that puts microcontroller-based designs on the fast track. The article presents a brief discussion of programmable logic basics, FPGA architectures, the FPGA ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

First, let’s review the basic FPGA building blocks in the cloud. Xilinx provides FPGAs to Amazon, which can be configured in Amazon F1 elastic cloud instances to accelerate a wide variety of workloads ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The first FPGA was invented by Ross Freeman (cofounder of Xilinx) in 1985 and since then their logic capacity has ...

Making a chip run faster is no longer guaranteed by shrinking features or moving to a different manufacturing process. It now requires a fundamental change in the architecture of the chip itself. The ...

Fujitsu has collaborated with the University of Toronto to develop a new computing architecture to tackle a range of real-world issues by solving combinatorial optimization problems, which involve ...

In this paper we present a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or ...

A vendor-independent design approach that allows design development independent of the target FPGA architecture can pay big dividends. Programmable logic in today's FPGAs now provides more than just ...
