Technology Advancements For Dynamic Function eXchange In Vivado ML Edition
By Xilinx - 08 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

As systems become more complex and designers are asked to do more with less, adaptability is a critical asset. While Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs always provided the flexibility to perform on-site device reprogramming, current constraints including increased cost, tighter board space, and power consumption demand even more efficient design strategies. Xilinx Dynamic Function eXchange (DFX) extends the... » read more

Building Multipurpose Systems With Dynamic Function Exchange Part Two: Bundling And Managing Resources
By Ed Rebello - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

In our previous article, we mentioned that one of the most-common oversights that designers can make is to not fully use available system resources, and we introduced you to the concept of Dynamic Function Exchange (DFX), a design approach that dynamically reallocates unused system resources to other tasks. From a technical standpoint, implementing DFX is relatively straightforward using a c... » read more

ML Focus Shifting Toward Software
By Bryon Moyer - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

New machine-learning (ML) architectures continue to garner a huge amount of attention as the race continues to provide the most effective acceleration architectures for the cloud and the edge, but attention is starting to shift from the hardware to the software tools. The big question now is whether a software abstraction eventually will win out over hardware details in determining who the f... » read more

China’s regulators are agreeing to AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx with the caveat that AMD must agree not to force tie-in sales Xilinx's products with AMD products, according to Reuters. China's State Administration for Market Regulation said the companies cannot discriminate against customers using other technology. Xilinx's SEC 8-K form confirms that the two companies received clearance for ... » read more

Arm's Mark Inskip shares how the Morello prototype architecture, aimed at improving the security of hardware, was developed, from the creation of the prototype architecture specification, followed by the design and implementation of a new CPU, through to the development of a new SoC, hardware platform, development tools, toolchains, and software. Cadence's Paul McLellan looks at how the RISC... » read more

Will Steering Wheels Ever Disappear?
By Bryon Moyer - 19 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 3

Autonomous vehicles are touted as the way of the future, and the general assumption is ultimately everything will be autonomous. But there are broad segments of the market where autonomy is unlikely to happen. There is no question that autonomy is possible. In fact, within certain bounds it's already here. Robo-taxis are available in some cities. Mercedes, Tesla, and Lexus are all touting so... » read more

Is Programmable Overhead Worth The Cost?
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Programmability has fueled the growth of most semiconductor products, but how much does it actually cost? And is that cost worth it? The answer is more complicated than a simple efficiency formula. It can vary by application, by maturity of technology in a particular market, and in the context of much larger systems. What's considered important for one design may be very different for anothe... » read more
