Highly Efficient Scan Diagnosis With Dynamic Partitioning
By Jayant D'Souza - 10 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Charged with the task of improving yield, product engineers need to find the location of defects in manufactured ICs quickly and efficiently. Typically, they use volume scan diagnosis to generate large amounts of data from failing test cycles, which is then analyzed to reveal the location of defects. Scan failure data provides the basis for many decisions in the failure analysis and yield impro... » 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
