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 ...

A wave of machine-learning-optimized chips is expected to begin shipping in the next few months, but it will take time before data centers decide whether these new accelerators are worth adopting and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A number of tools are available to help designers develop and work with FGPAS. Hymel discusses the open-source Ice40 FPGA toolchain, which includes apio, yosys, nextpnr, and Project IceStorm. He walks ...

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 ...
