Altera, the world's largest pure play FPGA solutions provider and a leader in FPGA-based data center infrastructure, today announced an expansion of its longstanding collaboration with Arm. This ...

There was a time when SPARC CPUs were the sole realm of pricey Sun workstations, but now you can put one on an FPGA with just a little trouble. The problem is you need a fairly big FPGA which isn’t ...

The 5500FP is a ternary CPU implemented on an FPGA. It's not very fast, but it makes it easier to experiment with computers ...

The lines between a server, a SmartNIC, and a Data Processing Unit, or DPU, are getting fuzzier, and the good news is that definitions do not matter nearly as much as use cases. And with its so-called ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

Nearly a decade ago Xilinx and Altera set a new direction for the FPGA industry, each announcing a high-end FPGA sitting beside a powerful CPUs on one die. Enticed by what had been explosive growth in ...

[Robert Baruch] wanted to tackle a CPU project using an FPGA. One problem you always have is you can either mimic something that has tools and applications or you can go your own way and just build ...

Two years ago, Intel spent $16.7 billion to acquire FPGA chip vendor Altera. So, what’s it going to do with that big purchase? The company is finally ready to say. A field-programmable gate array, or ...

Given AMD's Xilinx acquisition, questions arise about who will hold FPGA leadership going forward. Intel Agilex FPGA achieves 30-50% higher performance and 2x performance per watt than Xilinx Versal.

While they often aren’t as great as CPUs on their own, FPGAs can do a wonderful job accelerating specific tasks. Whether it's accelerating acting as a fabric for wide-scale datacenter services ...

Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR), MIPS Technologies (NASDAQ: MIPS) and System Level Solutions (SLS) Corporation today introduced a MIPS-Based™, FPGA-optimized soft processor for use on Altera’s FPGA ...

We made a joke – sort of – many years ago when we started this publication that the future compute engines would look more like a GPU card than they did a server as we knew it back then. And one of ...
