AI & FPGAs: A Symbiotic Relationship

AI & FPGAs: A Symbiotic Relationship

With their low latency and flexibility, FPGAs are ideal for AI applications, particularly at the edge. Richard Warrilow attended a recent FPGA Front Runner event to discover why we need to be designing at a higher level of abstraction. To date, AI has been dominated...
Meeting High Expectations

Meeting High Expectations

The electronics supply chain is renowned for its complexities, not the least of which is the famine or feast situation that arises when there are components shortages and surpluses, respectively. Before exploring these and other issues, it is worth justifying what...
Emulating the Behavior of Legacy Storage Devices

Emulating the Behavior of Legacy Storage Devices

Solid-state replacements for old tech’ drives can give decades-old systems a new lease of life, but what’s involved in making one? Within many industry sectors, computers and computer-based systems that were designed and built decades ago are in regular use, are...
Reliability Improved & Confidence Restored

Reliability Improved & Confidence Restored

Solid-state-based emulators are increasingly replacing floppy drives and other yesteryear storage technologies. Brian McSloy explains how solid-state-based swap-in drives are keeping host system operational and delivering new features. The aerospace and defence...
Avionics Industry’s Growing Need for TLM

Avionics Industry’s Growing Need for TLM

Avionic systems are increasingly employing FPGAs and SoC FPGAs with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and Ethernet to deliver greater performance and reliable connectivity. However, if the underlying FPGA design needs to demonstrate development assurance based on...
