A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...

Developers now have new tools for building bit-true behavior in C++ for algorithm systems and hardware. And the new data types operate at simulation speeds 10 to 200 times faster than traditional ...

Developing fixed-point algorithm descriptions used to require tradeoffs between design functionality, modeling of numerical precision, and validation (simulation) speed. Now, a new class of C++ ...

Microchip has released a C++ algorithm high-level synthesis design workflow for its PolarFire FPGAs. “A large majority of edge compute, computer vision and industrial control algorithms are developed ...

SystemC Modelling is an emerging technology used for SoC Verification and termed as Virtual Platforms. Virtual platforms are Simulation Environment of the SoC. SystemC is a high level language and the ...

Embedded-system designers must reuse not just hardware intellectual property but software as well. Often this is not a simple matter of recompilation. Software must be designed specifically for reuse.

A monthly overview of things you need to know as an architect or aspiring architect. Unlock the full InfoQ experience by logging in! Stay updated with your favorite authors and topics, engage with ...

In the field of computer science, there is perhaps no more fundamental task than to sort. Bubble, heap, merge—take your pick. The methods for reordering data inside a computer have been theorized to ...

Computer vision is one of the hottest markets in electronic design today. Digital processing of images and video with complex algorithms in order to interpret meaning has almost as many applications ...

Digital filtering of non-real-time signals has been performed for decades. The increased performance in today's silicon allows for these calculations to be accomplished in real-time, if the right ...
