Getting into FPGA design isn’t a monolithic experience. You have to figure out a toolchain, learn how to think in hardware during the design, and translate that ...

Hardware and device makers are in a mad dash to create or acquire the perfect chip for performing deep learning training and inference. While we have yet to see anything that can handle both parts of ...

In the first two parts of this video tutorial series, instructor Shawn Hymel discussed what an FPGA is and how to install apio and the open-source toolchain required ...

Over the last couple of years, the idea that the most efficient and high performance way to accelerate deep learning training and inference is with a custom ASIC—something designed to fit the specific ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits that provide the foundation to implement custom digital circuits. These highly customizable ICs make it possible to design complex ...

Over the last year we’ve had several posts about the Lattice Semiconductor iCEstick which is shown below. The board looks like an overgrown USB stick with no case, but it is really an FPGA development ...

FPGAs have long been used in the early stages of any new digital technology, given their utility for prototyping and rapid evolution. But with machine learning, FPGAs are showing benefits beyond those ...

FPGAs provide a balance of performance and flexibility required in advanced video processing applications. This white paper describes benefits of FPGAs for video streaming, content creation and AI and ...

Mipsology’s Zebra Deep Learning inference engine is designed to be fast, painless, and adaptable, outclassing CPU, GPU, and ASIC competitors. I recently attended the 2018 Xilinx Development Forum (XDF ...

This afternoon Microsoft announced Brainwave, an FPGA-based system for ultra-low latency deep learning in the cloud. Early benchmarking indicates that when using Intel Stratix 10 FPGAs, Brainwave can ...

Intel and ZTE, a leading technology telecommunications equipment and systems company, have worked together to reach a new benchmark in deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNN). The ...

Applications and infrastructure evolve in lock-step. That point has been amply made, and since this is the AI regeneration era, infrastructure is both enabling AI applications to make sense of the ...
