Ok, we’ll admit it. We like FPGAs because it reminds us of wiring up a 100-in-1 kit when we were kids. But the truth is, many projects are just as well off to have a CPU. But there’s a real sweet spot ...

Some interesting FPGA/processor combinations have been announced recently. Intel announced Atom processors that include an Altera FPGA and meanwhile Xilinx announced FPGAs with a hard ARM Cortex-A9 ...

The 5500FP is a ternary CPU implemented on an FPGA. It's not very fast, but it makes it easier to experiment with computers ...

Everybody who is operating at any sort of scale is looking to pack more compute into a smaller space for less money. At The Next Platform, we watch the goings on in the hyperscale and HPC arenas to ...

The lines between a server, a SmartNIC, and a Data Processing Unit, or DPU, are getting fuzzier, and the good news is that definitions do not matter nearly as much as use cases. And with its so-called ...

With so many available processor design options design teams must make the difficult decision to choose the solution that best fits their specific project requirements, while supporting extended ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

[Robert Baruch] wanted to tackle a CPU project using an FPGA. One problem you always have is you can either mimic something that has tools and applications or you can go your own way and just build ...

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tachyum™ Inc. today announced the upcoming availability of its Prodigy Universal Processor prototype, built using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) emulation boards. The ...

Two years ago, Intel spent $16.7 billion to acquire FPGA chip vendor Altera. So, what’s it going to do with that big purchase? The company is finally ready to say. A field-programmable gate array, or ...

While they often aren’t as great as CPUs on their own, FPGAs can do a wonderful job accelerating specific tasks. Whether it's accelerating acting as a fabric for wide-scale datacenter services ...

Altera, the world's largest pure play FPGA solutions provider and a leader in FPGA-based data center infrastructure, today announced an expansion of its longstanding collaboration with Arm. This ...
