Free software licenses and operating systems like GNU/Linux make it possible to learn programming and customize state-of-the-art software in countless ways. Hacking software, however, isn't the last ...

Why are so many companies suddenly jumping into the datacenter accelerator game? Major chip companies such as Intel, NVIDIA and Xilinx as well as startups such as Nervana (being acquired by Intel), ...

Xilinx has launched its first Targeted Design Platforms for accelerating systems development and integration with its 28nm 7 series Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Xilinx’s Targeted Design ...

Meeting with Xilinx and its partners this week at Amazon AWS re:Invent gave me a chance to understand where FPGAs are making progress, and what is preventing them from making more. If you recall, the ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

When you think of developing with FPGAs, you usually think of writing Verilog or VHDL. However, there’s been a relatively recent trend to use C to describe what an FPGA should do and have tools that ...

In recent years, a number of chipmakers have answered customers' calls to reduce development costs with some kind of fancy mask-programmable part. But IBM Microelectronics and Xilinx Inc. have so far ...

FPGAs might not have carved out a niche in the deep learning training space the way some might have expected but the low power, high frequency needs of AI inference fit the curve of reprogrammable ...

Xilinx is known for high-performance FPGAs. The company delivered impressive development tools for hardware and software that takes advantage of its FPGA and SoC platforms, such as the Vivado Design ...

Framingham, MA -- May 12, 2021 -- Bluespec, Inc., a founding member of RISC-V International and supplier of RISC-V processor IP and tools, announced that they have joined the Xilinx Partner Program ...
