Embedded designers have implemented heterogeneous architectures since the advent of commercially viable FPGAs. Initially, FPGAs acted primarily as glue logic for an interface between processing ...

To make FPGAs accessible to DSP engineers without hardware design expertise, FPGA and tool vendors have developed tools that allow FPGAs to be programmed in high-level behavioral languages such as ...

One of the best features of using FPGAs for a design is the inherent parallelism. Sure, you can write software to take advantage of multiple CPUs. But with an FPGA you can enjoy massive parallelism ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. FPGAs are wonderful tools. They consist of a collection of logic cells called lookup tables (LUTs) surrounded by an ...

The quest for better throughput, faster changeover times, and less waste and downtimes has made machine-automation systems more complicated. Besides handling logic or process controls, systems today ...
