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 ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

What is the biggest factor affecting the productivity of FPGA design cycles? Many designers say achieving timing closure is critical in getting a design to market – and with good reason. Achieving ...

Where does the time go? About four years ago as I pen these words, I was introduced to expert Swedish ASIC designer Sven-Åke Andersson. At that time, Sven was aware that, with their increasing NRE ...
