Eight Benefits Of Using An FPGA With An On-Chip High-Speed Network
By Achronix - 04 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Since the initial introduction of FPGAs decades ago, each new architecture has continued to employ a bit-wise routing structure. While this approach has been successful, the rise of high-speed communication standards has required ever increasing on-chip bus widths to be able to support these new data rates. A consequence of this limitation is that designers often spend much of their development... » read more

How to Design SmartNICs Using FPGAs to Increase Server Compute Capacity
By Achronix - 09 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Intelligent server adapters, or SmartNICs, boost server performance in cloud and private data centers by offloading network processing workloads and tasks from server CPUs. Offloading network processing to a SmartNIC is not a new concept — for example, there are NICs that offload some network-processing functions such as checksum computation and segmentation. However, the rapid explosion in d... » read more

How To Meet Power Performance And Cost for Autonomous Vehicle Systems Using Speedcore eFPGAs
By Achronix - 05 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

In the advanced, fully autonomous, self-driving vehicles of the future, the existence of dozens and even hundreds of distributed CPUs and numerous other processing elements is assured. Peripheral sensor-fusion and other processing tasks can be served by ASICs, SoCs, or traditional FPGAs. But the introduction of embedded FPGA blocks such as Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA IP provides numerous system-... » read more

Chiplets – Taking SoC Design Where No Monolithic IC Has Gone Before
By Achronix - 03 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

The chiplet movement is a reaction to the rapidly changing IC landscape and the current IC fabrication realities. Engineers are increasingly realizing that it makes little sense to integrate every IP block in a system on one piece of silicon if the fit is poor. There are many advantages with monolithic silicon integration, but those advantages are rapidly being outweighed by the economics of bu... » read more

Mine Cryptocurrencies Sooner, Faster, and Cheaper with Achronix Speedcore Embedded FPGAs
By Achronix - 06 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

New cryptocurrencies such as Monero introduce ASIC-resistance and memory-hardness to prevent ASICs from being built that give some operators a competitive mining advantage over others who do not have access to the same technology. This white paper discusses the relevant background and presents a solution based on Achronix Speedcore embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs), enabling users to regain a highly prof... » read more

Speedchip FPGA Chiplets
By Achronix - 09 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Next-generation SoC platforms are evolving rapidly to process and move enormous amounts of data from the edge; over the network and to the cloud for high data and compute intensive applications such as AI and machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC) and autonomous driving. As a result, next-generation ASICs need to be larger, faster and further optimized for performance, power and are... » read more

Achieving ASIC Timing Closure With Speedcore eFPGAs
By Achronix - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Achronix's Speedcore eFPGA IP allows companies to embed a programmable logic fabric in their ASICs, delivering to end users the capability to modify or upgrade the functionality of an ASIC after being deployed in the field. This flexibility dramatically expands the solution space that can be served by the ASIC as it can be updated to support changing standards and algorithms. Timing closure is ... » read more

The Ideal Solution For AI Applications — Speedcore eFPGAs
By Achronix - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

AI requires a careful balance of datapath performance, memory latency, and throughput that requires an approach based on pulling as much of the functionality as possible into an ASIC or SoC. But that single-chip device needs plasticity to be able to handle the changes in structure that are inevitable in machine-learning projects. Adding eFPGA technology provides the mixture of flexibility and s... » read more

2018 Ushers In A Renewed Push To The Edge
By Achronix - 28 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

The past decade has seen massive growth in centralized computing, with data processing flowing to the cloud to take advantage of low-cost dedicated data centers. It was a trend that seemed at odds with the general trend in computing — a trend that started with the mainframe but moved progressively towards ambient intelligence and the internet of things (IoT). As we move into 2018, this centra... » read more
