We often think that not enough people are building things with FPGAs. We also love the retrotechtacular posts on old computer hardware. So it was hard to pass up [karlwoodward’s] post about the Chip ...

Everybody wants to give FPGA development a try and here’s a great way to get into it. You can build your own Persistence of Vision display using a $30 dev board. It’s a fun project, and you’ll learn ...

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 ...

Altera University aims to affordably and easily introduce students to the world of FPGAs and digital logic programming tools by unveiling the curriculum, tutorials, and lab exercises that bridge the ...

I have a few projects in mind that I think an FPGA would be well suited for, but I'm a bit overwhelmed with choice at the moment, and I hope someone can give me a nudge in the right direction. I have ...

Over the last few weeks I’ve been asking a lot of my embedded designer friends what they know about FPGAs (yes, I do have friends, don’t be cheeky!) These are guys who are black-belt “masters of the ...

Intel Corp. has spent a lot of effort pushing the concept of its Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which can be used to accelerate various computing tasks such as artificial intelligence and machine ...

For several years, GPU acceleration matched with Intel Xeon processors were the dominating news items in hardware at the annual Supercomputing Conference. However, this year that trend shifted in ...

Altera Corporation announced its OpenCL (Open Computing Language) for FPGAs Early Access Program (EAP), enabling customers to get a first look at Altera's OpenCL for FPGA solution. Leveraging the open ...

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 ...
