New Vitis kit from FPGA vendor Xilinx will use familiar languages like C++ and Python for everything from IoT to video encoding. ... That’s also what makes programming them a king-sized challenge.

This afternoon Xilinx sketched in the outlines of their next-generation FPGA program. Without naming products or giving specifications, the company said that its 28nm FPGAs would be built by Samsung ...

Meeting with Xilinx and its partners this week at Amazon AWS re:Invent gave me a chance to understand where FPGAs are making progress, and what is preventing them from making more. If you recall ...

Before Guitar Hero, I had little hands-on knowledge of composite video, FPGAs, VHDL or much else this project took to complete. Afterwards, I can say that I know my way around Xilinx's IDE, and I've ...

It doesn’t help that the method of programming FPGAs efficiently using VHDL and Verilog are so alien to Java and C programmers, and that the tools for porting code from such high level programming ...

FPGA programming using Vivado may take a bit longer for the uninitiated. Commercial C-grade units with an operating temperature range of 0 to 85°C plus a two-year warranty start at $250.

The xDNN configurable overlay processor maps a range of neural network frameworks onto the VU9P Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA with options to beef up memory, work with custom applications, and tap into a ...

Cloud systems that employ FPGA cards like Xilinx’s Alveo often have hundreds of cards in a system. Mapping applications across CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and AI hardware is complex and error-prone when ...

After creating the FPGA bitstream, there are numerous options for using it to create programming files. These depend a lot on the hardware mechanism you want to use for programming the FPGA. The ...

Xilinx FPGAs have been used successfully in traditional defense applications since the late 1980s,” said Howard Bogrow, ... The Raytheon OPTUS space program is also using these devices.
