The ROBOTCORE™ hardware acceleration framework helps roboticists build “robot chips” and make robot computations faster, more deterministic and power efficient through FPGAs and GPUs. VITORIA-GASTEIZ, ...

Across a range of embedded-system applications, the combination of data-processing and system-throughput requirements is increasing to the point at which implementing algorithms purely in software on ...

Computers are great at a lot of things. However, general-purpose computers can benefit from help on certain tasks, which is why your video card and sound card both have their own specialized hardware ...

For anybody who did any kind of computing in the 1950s or 1960s, (or for that matter, in the 1970s or the 1980s), the advances that we’ve made in hardware are staggering. But if you do track them to ...

Hardware acceleration uses specialized hardware components of your computer to perform certain tasks more efficiently than the system’s main processor (CPU) alone could. This is particularly useful ...
