Editor's Note: I was recently perusing a new book called Design Recipes for FPGAs that was written by Peter Wilson and published by Newnes (ISBN-13: 978-0750668453). This is a rather interesting “Cook ...

Peter Wilson’s brand new book Design Recipes for FPGAs is an interesting addition to the writing about FPGAs. At 369 pages it might seem to be the One Real Reference, but in fact it’s more a surf ...

Looking at an FPGA to solve your problems? Need to learn VHDL? Then pick up Design Recipes For FPGAs by Peter Wilson. It is not an in-depth intro to VHDL and FPGA design. Instead, it’s a nice overview ...

A team effort, VMETRO and Impulse Accelerated Technologies unveil the V5+C DSP development kit for prototyping and algorithm development for the Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. The kit includes the ...

Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources ...

Free reference design enables designers of HDTV and other high-performance, high-volume applications to quickly implement 400 Mbps DDR2 SDRAM interfaces with FPGAs SAN JOSE, Calif., August 7, 2007 – ...

As mentioned previously, the greatest hurdle to FPGA adoption is the developer’s perception of usability. Usually a computer engineer must design the hardware via a description language such as ...

This is actually possible – and with an average efficiency improvement of 20% to 50% for medium to high complexity FPGAs. Less for data path oriented designs and more for control or protocol oriented ...

Most Americans consider Black Friday to be the biggest shopping extravaganza of the year. No doubt it is huge, with an estimated $5B in all U.S. retail sales (online and in-store) on Black Friday 2017 ...

Over the course of the last year in particular, particularly following Intel’s acquisition of FPGA maker, Altera, field programmable gate array have risen to the fore as a potential accelerator cure ...
