Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Hardware and software are two sides of the same coin, but they often live in different worlds. In the past, hardware and software rarely were designed together, and many companies and products failed ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is looking for new ways to replace legacy code and decouple it from hardware, a key modernization objective touted by senior Pentagon IT officials ...

In theory, any piece of software could be built out of discrete pieces of hardware, provided there are enough transistors, passive components, and time available. In general, though, we’re much more ...

The traditional approach of running generic software on x86-based CPUs is running out of steam for many applications due to the slowdown of Moore’s Law and the concurrent exponential growth in ...

The latest learn-to-code kit passing around a digital begging bowl to raise crowdfunds to make its concept fly is called FlowPaw. This education-focused electronics board takes inspiration from the ...

Hardware/software partitioning algorithms are fundamental in the design of modern embedded systems, where the allocation of functionalities between hardware accelerators and software components is ...

Most computer problems are easily traced to either hardware or software errors. However, it isn't always obvious why your computer won't work, and establishing where the problem lies can often be ...
