You might be asking, “Why would anyone create a hardware implementation of Sudoku?” Or even, “What does this have to do with me and what I do?” The simple answer is that we wanted a fun, ...

I’ve written articles before about ISO 26262 Certification because many SoC design teams are challenged by the barriers they have to overcome to achieve automotive functional safety, especially if ...

A hardware root of trust (HRoT) serves as the system’s foundational, immutable source of trust. Implemented directly in silicon – via a secure boot ROM or a dedicated security controller – it executes ...

This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic describes several algorithms, namely, the integer division, the reduction mod B k — a, the precomputation of B ik mod m, ...

The ability to automatically generate optimized hardware from software was one of the primary tenets of system-level design automation that was never fully achieved. The question now is whether that ...

Historically, exploiting FPGA or ASIC implementation of DSP algorithms has been the domain of companies with highly-skilled designers and large budgets. Now, a new generation of tools is bringing ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. For most applications, however, hard-coded hardware accelerators offer a much more efficient implementation of a single ...
