We often think that not enough people are building things with FPGAs. We also love the retrotechtacular posts on old computer hardware. So it was hard to pass up [karlwoodward’s] post about the Chip ...

Altera University aims to affordably and easily introduce students to the world of FPGAs and digital logic programming tools by unveiling the curriculum, tutorials, and lab exercises that bridge the ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming an increasingly popular tool for applications where high performance, low latency and power efficiency are requires. Since an FPGA can be ...

FPGAs are the bee’s knees. Instead of programming a chip by telling it what to do, FPGAs allow you to tell a chip what to be. Like everything though, a new skill set is needed to fully exploit the ...

Intel Corp. has spent a lot of effort pushing the concept of its Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which can be used to accelerate various computing tasks such as artificial intelligence and machine ...

San Jose, Calif. August 28, 2012—Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced its OpenCL (Open Computing Language) for FPGAs Early Access Program (EAP), enabling customers to get a first look ...

Every new hardware device that offers some kind of benefit compared to legacy devices faces the task of overcoming the immense inertia that is imparted to a platform by the software that runs upon it.

The quest for better throughput, faster changeover times, and less waste and downtimes has made machine-automation systems more complicated. Besides handling logic or process controls, systems today ...

Combining Altera's expertise in FPGA technology and goHDR's in-depth high-dynamic range (HDR) knowledge, the two companies leveraged OpenCL as a common language which allowed goHDR to rapidly develop ...
