One of the bigger announcements this past week, at least in terms of hype, was Tuesday's news that IBM will work with a small start-up called Rapport to provide a massively parallel, reconfigurable ...

Most complex embedded digital systems use one or more ASICs to secure the high level of functionality that is required. Until recently, designers of such systems were forced to consider a new ...

There is little doubt that this is a new era for FPGAs. While it is not news that FPGAs have been deployed in many different environments, particularly on the storage and networking side, there are ...

To reinterpret something imaginatively – in other words, in a creative and innovative way The word “reimagine” is one of those words loved by marketing people and often loathed by engineers. But, in ...

The reimagining of IT networks will begin when reconfigurable computing solutions like field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are available to all IT organizations. In my last column, I wrote about ...

DENVER — A small Utah startup has reawakened the potential of FPGA-based reconfigurable computing by releasing an algorithmic synthesis language and a desktop supercomputer that use the language on ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

With so many new technologies vying for attention, it can be difficult for CISOs to know which ones merit attention. Will this solution save time? Will it make our organisation more productive, or ...

When a conventional processor (core) cannot meet the needs of a target application, it becomes necessary to evaluate alternative solutions such as multiple cores and/or configurable cores. The first ...
