Rethinking Chip Economics
By Ed Sperling - 20 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

As process nodes shrink, so does the selection of chips developed at those nodes. Consumers demand more features and functionality, but that carries a high price tag in terms of both complexity and real dollars. In addition, because costs are skyrocketing, there is growing pressure for those chips to remain reliable and up-to-date for longer periods of time. Jayson Bethurem, vice president of m... » read more

How Secure Are FPGAs?
By Karen Heyman - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 1

The unique hybrid software/hardware nature of FPGAs makes them tempting targets for cyberattacks, while also enabling them to rebuff attacks and change the attack surface before significant damage can be done. But it's becoming increasingly challenging to address all the potential vulnerabilities. FPGAs are often included in larger systems, each with their own unique attack vectors as well a... » read more

Holistic Power Reduction
By Brian Bailey - 11 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

The power consumption of a device is influenced by every stage of the design, development, and implementation process, but identifying opportunities to save power no longer can be just about making hardware more efficient. Tools and methodologies are in place for most of the power-saving opportunities, from RTL down through implementation, and portions of the semiconductor industry already a... » read more

Improving PPA When Embedding FPGAs Into SoCs
By Ed Sperling - 31 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Embedded FPGAs have been on everyone’s radar for years as a way of extending the life of chips developed at advanced nodes, but they typically have come with high performance and power overhead. That’s no longer the case, and the ability to control complex chips and keep them current with changes to algorithms and various protocols is significant step. Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, talks a... » read more

Solving The Quantum Threat With Post-Quantum Cryptography On eFPGAs
By Flex Logix - 30 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

The quantum threat and post-quantum cryptography Advances in quantum computing technology threaten the security of current cryptosystems. Asymmetric cryptography algorithms that are used by modern security protocols for key exchange and digital signatures rely on the complexity of certain mathematical problems. Currently, the main problems used for asymmetric cryptography are integer f... » read more

Complex Tradeoffs In Inferencing Chips
By John Koon - 17 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Designing AI/ML inferencing chips is emerging as a huge challenge due to the variety of applications and the highly specific power and performance needs for each of them. Put simply, one size does not fit all, and not all applications can afford a custom design. For example, in retail store tracking, it's acceptable to have a 5% or 10% margin of error for customers passing by a certain aisle... » read more

Put A Data Center In Your Phone!
By Andy Jaros - 10 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Datacenters heavily leverage FPGAs for AI acceleration. Why not do the same for low power edge applications with embedded FPGA (eFPGA)? It’s common knowledge for anyone connected to the cloud computing industry that data centers heavily rely on FPGAs for programmable accelerators enabling high performance computing for AI training and inferencing. These heterogeneous computing solution... » read more

Using eFPGAs For Security
By Ed Sperling - 21 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Andy Jaros, vice president at Flex Logix, talks about the use of eFPGAs to keep pace with security risks over longer chip lifetimes, how configurable RTL can help, and why systems companies are altering the playing field for FPGAs. » read more

New Uses For AI In Chips
By John Koon and Ed Sperling - 11 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 1

Artificial intelligence is being deployed across a number of new applications, from improving performance and reducing power in a wide range of end devices to spotting irregularities in data movement for security reasons. While most people are familiar with using machine learning and deep learning to distinguish between cats and dogs, emerging applications show how this capability can be use... » read more
