System designers face a number of key questions during the architecture phase of their project. Increasingly one of these questions is whether to use an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or a DSP ...

Digital signal processing (DSP) occurs in communications, audio, and multimedia devices, imaging and medical equipment, smart antennas, automotive electronics, MP3 players, radar and sonar, and ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

The history of digital signal processing has moved from dedicated DSP chips to FPGAs. Now Intel CPUs are handling the processing duties for some live mixing boards, aided by simple operating systems ...

There has been plenty of talk about where FPGA acceleration might fit into high performance computing but there are only a few testbeds and purpose-built clusters pushing this vision forward for ...

FPGAs, like GPUs, have changed significantly from their initial inception that took a narrower view of the solution space. They’ve morphed from a collection of gates and routing to taking on jobs that ...
