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 ...

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 ...

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.

The algorithms used in video applications are increasingly more sophisticated. The continuous evolution of standards and the highly competitive nature of the industry are challenging design teams 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 ...

Michel Jean] asked a question few others might: what exactly is going on under the hood of a classic HP scientific calculator when one presses the ∫ key? A numerical integration, sure, but how ...
