FPGAs continue to march to the tune of Moore's Law with new devices appearing at approximately 2-year intervals. Today, 65 nm FPGAs are available with capacities equivalent to 2M ASIC gates. At these ...

Traditional ASIC and IP verification methods cannot adequately exercise the hardware and software components of today's designs. This is due to tool performance limitations, which impose a bottleneck ...

Ryan Gray is Co-Founder and CEO of SGW Designworks, a product engineering and design firm featured in The Lean Startup. It’s very common for a prospective client to come to our product development ...

Right now, embedded developers who choose Linux face a bombardment of "what if" questions: What if it doesn't work? What kind of technical support is available? What if it isn't robust enough? What if ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

Why hardware-assisted verification systems are vital to designing next-gen hardware. The differences between hardware emulation and FPGA-based prototyping systems. How the demands of data-center CPUs ...
