SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2011-- Altera Corporation today unveiled its family of ARM-based SoC FPGAs, integrating 28-nm Cyclone® V and Arria® V FPGA fabric, a ...

The Agilex™ 5 product families are mid-range FPGAs and SoCs that are optimized for applications requiring high performance, lower power, and small package sizes: • Up to 2X better fabric ...

After more than 50 years at the top of the heap, the CPU finally has some competition from an upstart called the SoC. For decades, you could walk into a shop and confidently pick out a new computer ...

Altera just released a white paper to justify its embedded RISC strategy. ‘Strategic Considerations for Emerging SoC FPGAs’ does not necessarily ring the death knell for soft-implemented processor ...

The fundamental definition of a SoC is a device that contains one or more processor cores and some on-chip memory coupled with a mixture of hardware accelerator functions, peripheral and ...

One of the ways people use FPGAs is to have part of the FPGA fabric hold a CPU. That makes sense because CPUs are good at some jobs that are hard to do with an FPGA, and vice versa. Now that the ...

DLX is an open source microprocessor, it’s free and it has never been implemented in a commercial ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) design. The objective of this project is to use the ...

For more than three decades, system-level designers have employed FPGAs for multitude of reasons, but the two main factors are performance and flexibility. Many tasks executed in software running on a ...

Security concerns often focus on software being executed on processors. But not all electronic functionality runs in software. FPGAs provide another way to do work, and they can be more secure than ...

While it has been possible to pair a CPU and FPGA for quite some time, two things have changed recently. First, the industry has reduced the latency of the connection between them and second, we now ...
