When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems look like nails. And if your goal is to emulate the behavior of an FPGA but your only tools are FPGAs, then your nail-and-hammer issue starts ...

When it comes to speeding up computationally intensive workloads, GPUs are not the only game in town. FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) are also gaining traction in data centers. While companies ...

Getting into FPGA design isn’t a monolithic experience. You have to figure out a toolchain, learn how to think in hardware during the design, and translate that into working Verliog. The end goal is ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are so-called because they are structured very much like the now-obsolete “gate array” form of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). In fact, FPGAs ...

Over a decade ago we would not have expected accelerators to have be commonplace in the datacenter. While they are not pervasive, a host of new workloads are ripe for acceleration and porting work has ...

Integrated circuits (ICs), which are popularly referred to as silicon chips, may be analog, or digital, or a mixture of both. For the purposes of this portion of our discussions we will focus on chips ...

In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Robert Roe writes that FPGAs provide an early insight into possibile architectural specialization options for HPC and machine learning.

FPGAs are reaching deeper and wider inside of automobiles, playing an increasingly important role across more systems within a vehicle as the electronic content continues to grow. The role of FPGAs in ...

Intel is building the foundation for the modern data center, and its solution to the exponential data growth is not more CPU power, but field programmable gate array (FPGA) accelerators. Must read: ...
