Regardless of the amount of time and energy FPGA designers invest attempting to create “right-first-time” designs, the functional complexities, performance requirements, and high gate counts of large ...

There are times when we become stuck in the past, or choose to believe something that is no longer true or actually never was true. As we get older, we are all guilty of that. History tends to rewrite ...

For the past two decades, most designs have been incremental in nature. They heavily leveraged IP used in previous designs, and that IP often was developed by third parties. But there are growing ...

Classical design flows using RTL simulation software exhibit exponentially increasing simulation times as designs grow to multi-million gate sizes. Large design sizes require hardware acceleration ...

Santa Cruz, Calif. — Designers who want to make a small change to an FPGA design typically must recompile the whole thing. To ease that burden for large FPGAs, Xilinx Inc. and Synplicity Inc. have ...

FPGA synthesis comes with pitfalls that are becoming more of a liability as the devices themselves grow in complexity. Timing closure can take multiple synthesis iterations. Also, design iterations ...

Sierra Nevada Space Systems completed what it characterized as an “incremental” critical design review covering elements of the seven-passenger, shuttle-like Dream Chaser spacecraft it is developing ...

Buildings that are designed to layer stories and memories, evoke a sense of aspiration, define cultural narratives, and build a national identity will always be important in all societies. When ...
