A-OMS LUT design is an advanced approach for optimizing the size of a LUT required for the direct storage of complex computational values. It is known that in FPGAs the DSP blocks plays a major role ...

Approximate computing comes to the fore as an alternative paradigm to enhance efficiency in computing systems by trading off the system’s accuracy for better performance. This paper seeks to leverage ...

Until relatively recently, the majority of FPGA architectures were developed using 4-input lookup tables (LUTs), where each LUT is constructed from SRAM bits storing digital (0 or 1) information. Also ...

Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is a part of the LTE protocol used for up-link data transmission. It involves a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) pre-coding of the ...

Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...

Here we provide rational for using Centar’s floating-point IP core for the new Altera Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA platforms. After a short contextual discussion section, a comparison of various FFT ...

For the most part, embedded FPGA can be viewed as a “black box,” which is effectively as an RTL engine. However, sometimes it’s helpful to understand what’s going on underneath the hood to evaluate ...

Microsemi Corp. has introduced its SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA – a 65nm flash-based FPGA that integrates on-chip security and error-correction/-detection with a 166MHz ...

For many years, emulators were available only to verification teams working on the largest projects in companies with deep enough pockets. Due to size rather than capabilities they were called “Big ...
