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 ...

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, ...

Where does the time go? About four years ago as I pen these words, I was introduced to expert Swedish ASIC designer Sven-Åke Andersson. At that time, Sven was aware that, with their increasing NRE ...

What is the biggest factor affecting the productivity of FPGA design cycles? Many designers say achieving timing closure is critical in getting a design to market – and with good reason. Achieving ...
