Introduction To eFPGA Software
By Geoff Tate - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

In February, we covered “Introduction to eFPGA Hardware.” Now in April, we’ll provide an introduction to eFPGA software. An eFPGA is a block of programmable logic from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand LUTs (look up tables) of programmable logic that is embedded in an SoC. The clock(s) for the eFPGA come from the SoC. The configuration of the eFPGA is done by the SoC... » read more

Network Telemetry Solutions For Data Center And Enterprise Networks
By Marvell - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

One of the most prominent trends in the networking community in the last few years is network telemetry, which enables accurate measurement of the network’s performance in real-time. In this white paper we will discuss how network telemetry is evolving in modern data center networks. Details will then be given of how the generic approach to network telemetry that has been taken by Marvell is... » read more

Packing Neural Networks Into End-User Client Devices
By Arm - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Most of today’s neural networks can only run on high-performance servers. There’s a big push to change this and simplify network processing to the point where the algorithms can run on end-user client devices. One approach is to eliminate complexity by replacing floating-point representation with fixed-point representation. We take a different approach, and recommend a mix of the two, so as... » read more

Tiling Is Critical For eFPGA Users: ArrayLinx Delivers
By Flex Logix - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

FPGA chips come in multiple sizes — modular blocks of programmable logic, DSP MACs and RAM are intermixed in different sizes and ratios then stitched together with top-level interconnect, clocking, etc and surrounded by a ring of I/Os like GPIO, SerDes, USB, etc. There is extensive engineering and top-level physical design for each distinct FPGA array and chip. eFPGA is different: Custome... » 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

Tokenization Beyond Payments
By Rambus - 04 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tokenization is a process by which sensitive data is replaced with unique identification credentials that retain all essential information about the data without exposing said sensitive data to attacks. While traditional payment methods pass critical identification information through several points, tokenization minimizes the amount of data a business needs to keep on hand. Becoming popular wi... » read more
