System designers face a number of key questions during the architecture phase of their project. Increasingly one of these questions is whether to use an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or a DSP ...

The wireless communications technology explosion came at a near-perfect time for FPGA companies with access to leading-edge fabrication technology. Reductions in FPGA feature size to 0.18 micron and ...

Most analysts agree that this year, the growth rates of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) will actually double that of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Of course, FPGAs have been ...

Typically, DSP designers are unfamiliar with FPGA design tools, and FPGA designers are unfamiliar with DSP algorithms. But when Sandia National Laboratories needed to replace an analog implementation ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 22, 2006 — Xilinx Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), a leading supplier of programmable logic solutions to the aerospace and defense market, today announced that General Dynamics C4 ...

There has been plenty of talk about where FPGA acceleration might fit into high performance computing but there are only a few testbeds and purpose-built clusters pushing this vision forward for ...

A/V Production Engine Demonstrates FPGA’s Flexibility and Digital Signal Processing Capabilities, Creating a Market-Leading Product San Jose, Calif., April 9, 2007—Sydney, Australia-based audio ...

With the V5+C kit, software application developers who may be less familiar with low-level VHDL design methods can easily move ANSI C algorithms to an FPGA-accelerated platform. Experienced hardware ...

TL;DR: Ubitium is developing a Universal Processor that combines CPU, GPU, DSP, and FPGA into a single chip, aiming to revolutionize the market by reusing every transistor for multiple functions.

Amazon Web Services might be offering FPGAs in an EC2 cloud environment, but this is still a far cry from the FPGA-as-a-service vision many hold for the future. Nonetheless, it is a remarkable ...
