There are now multiple vendors offering eFPGA on a wide range of process nodes with multiple customers. eFPGA Vendors Menta has had eFPGA available for the longest: their offe... » read more

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

Using FPGAs For AI
By Brian Bailey - 02 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 3

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are progressing at a rate that is outstripping Moore's Law. In fact, they now are evolving faster than silicon can be designed. The industry is looking at all possibilities to provide devices that have the necessary accuracy and performance, as well as a power budget that can be sustained. FPGAs are promising, but they also have some sig... » read more

Planning For Failures In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing some fundamental shifts as it backs away from the traditional siloed approach to one of graceful failure, slowing the evolution to fully autonomy and rethinking how to achieve its goals for a reasonable cost. For traditional automakers, this means borrowing some proven strategies from the electronics world rather than trying to evolve traditional automot... » read more

Revving Up For Edge Computing
By Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

The edge is beginning to take shape as a way of limiting the amount of data that needs to be pushed up to the cloud for processing, setting the stage for a massive shift in compute architectures and a race among chipmakers for a stake in a new and highly lucrative market. So far, it's not clear which architectures will win, or how and where data will be partitioned between what needs to be p... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 01 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Micron acquired FWDNXT, an AI software and hardware startup. Founded in 2017 and based in Lafayette, Indiana, FWDNXT, specializes in building machine learning deep neural network inference accelerators scalable from edge devices to server-class performance as Xilinx FPGAs, SoCs, or SDK. The company's engine already powers Micron's Deep Learning Accelerator (DLA) technology. “FWDNXT is an a... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Autos
By Susan Rambo - 01 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

IoT/Edge Achronix teamed up with Bittware to develop a smart accelerator card based on a 7nm FPGA from Achronix. The card is targeted for edge devices, where pre-processing and acceleration of data movement is critical due to the enormous quantity of data being generated by sensors. The strategy is to move the processing closer to the data, rather than processing input from multiple sensors in... » read more

ML, Edge Drive IP To Outperform Broader Chip Market
By Kevin Fogarty - 03 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

The market for third-party semiconductor IP is surging, spurred by the need for more specific capabilities across a wide variety of markets. While the IP industry is not immune to steep market declines in semiconductor industry, it does have more built-in resilience than other parts of the industry. Case in point: The top 15 semiconductor suppliers were hit with an 18% decline in 2019 first-... » read more

Where Is The Edge?

Mike Fitton, senior director of strategic planning at Achronix, talks about what the edge will look like, how that fits in with the cloud, what the requirements are both for processing and for storage, and how this concept will evolve.   Edge Knowledge Center Top stories, videos, blogs, white papers all related to the Edge » read more

Open ISAs Gaining Traction
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Open instruction set architectures are starting to gain a foothold, often in combination with other processors, as chipmakers begin to add more specialized compute elements and more flexibility into their designs. There are a number of these open ISAs available today, including Power, MIPS, and RISC-V, and there are a number of permutations and tools available for sale based on those archite... » read more
