Higher Performance, Lower Power Everywhere
By Ed Sperling - 10 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

The future of technology is all about information—not just data—at our fingertips, anywhere and at any time. But making all of this work properly will require massive improvements in both performance and power efficiency. There are several distinct pieces to this picture. One is architectural, which is possibly the simplest to understand, the most technologically challenging to realize, ... » read more

Understanding NI CompactRIO Scan Mode
By NI - 07 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module 8.6 introduced powerful new features for programming CompactRIO hardware that reduce development time and complexity as well as provide tools for monitoring and maintaining CompactRIO applications. This functionality is powered by two technologies in LabVIEW, the NI Scan Engine and the RIO Scan Interface. The NI Scan Engine is a new component of LabVIEW Real-Time th... » read more

Inside UVM, Take Three
By Vatsal Choksi - 26 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The reason why UVM came up with such phases is because synchronization among all design-testbench was necessary. Using Verilog and VHDL, verification engineers did not have facilities such as clocking block or run phases. Now, it is very important that the time at which test vectors applied from test-bench reaches the Design Under Test(DUT) at the same time. If timing for different signals vari... » read more

Why Your FPGA Synthesis Flow Requires Verification
By Tom Anderson - 26 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL language that looks more like software than hardware, and implements it using the low-level building-block library of an ASIC or FPGA device. The resulting gate-level netlist must meet a variety of requir... » read more

Raymond Nijssen, vice president of systems engineering at Achronix, discusses on-chip and process variation at 7nm and 5nm, the role of embedded FPGAs, and how to reduce margin and pessimistic designs. https://youtu.be/LQnw_3H9soQ » read more

Bridging Machine Learning’s Divide
By Brian Bailey - 08 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

There is a growing divide between those researching [getkc id="305" comment="machine learning"] (ML) in the cloud and those trying to perform inferencing using limited resources and power budgets. Researchers are using the most cost-effective hardware available to them, which happens to be GPUs filled with floating point arithmetic units. But this is an untenable solution for embedded infere... » read more
