Basics Of Embedded FPGA Acceleration
By Alok Sanghavi - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Making a chip run faster is no longer guaranteed by shrinking features or moving to a different manufacturing process. It now requires a fundamental change in the architecture of the chip itself. The days of the single-processor, or even single multi-core processors, are gone. The focus has shifted to different kinds of processors for different kinds of data and many different protocols and ... » read more

Cutting CapEx, Not Capacity
By Krzysztof Szczur - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

‘The cloud’ has been an industry buzz word for some time now, and while the initial focus was on data storage and sharing - and spawned the likes of Dropbox – ‘cloud computing’ is currently the latest trend. For instance, Amazon’s cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), gives users access to servers and a range of applications. Storage is available as before but so too now are... » read more

Using FPGAs To Accelerate Data Centers
By Achronix - 05 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

With the technology industry at a crossroads — the effective repeal of Mooreʹs Law and the stagnation and decline of PC, tablet, consumer electronics and smartphone markets — data centers have become the sweet spot of the technology sector, showing healthy revenue growth and attracting new system solutions in both hardware and software. Unlike the ethereal promise of upcoming wonders from ... » read more
