[POV: Point Of View] Use Algorithmic Synthesis To Solve Your FPGA Prototyping And Design Issues
Algorithmic synthesis—the efficient implementation of algorithms in silicon—offers compelling value to both system-on-a-chip (SoC) and FPGA design teams. However, there are subtle but important differences in the teams’ requirements when using algorithmic synthesis tools. This is especially true for FPGAs, which can be designed as just one in a series of steps to creating an SoC or as production-ready devices.

December 11, 2008[Leapfrog: First Look] Processors Automatically Shut Down To Save Power
The multicore Opteron processors in AMD’s “Shanghai” line are designed for performance, but their new Smart Fetch technology can also save power. A core can detect when a thread becomes idle. After a programmable delay, the core flushes its L1 and L2 cache to the chip’s L3 cache before shutting down. In addition to a faster startup, this gives other cores access to the core’s working set. Power savings up to 21% are possible when cores aren’t running...

December 11, 2008[Design View / Design Solution] Reap The Rewards Of Intelligent, Configurable Power Management
Traditionally, system designers addressed increasing price sensitivity and demands for feature-rich products by using ASICs, CPUs, dedicated microcontrollers, and memory ICs for desired product features. This hikes both the demand for power and the complexity of power management, forcing developers to consider how to support and manage multiple power-supply sources intelligently, within the strict power, thermal, and area constraints of complex modern...

[Mark David's Blog] Electronica 2008 Thrives Despite Economic Upheaval
With the infamous naked (painted) booth babes of 2006 Electronica replaced by a foosball table, Electronica 2008 seemed to have had a little less flash (or was that flesh?) and sizzle than some previous shows. Maybe this was a concession to the tough global economic times. But despite the steady stream of news about global recession, the mood at Electronica was one of “business as usual” with a look to the future. The show was a big success.

December 1, 2008[Technology Report] CES Keynotes Sport A New Look
I’m a big fan of keynote addresses at any tradeshow I go to. But my favorite ones by far are those of the International CES. This show invariably draws the top executives from consumer electronics and other companies around the globe. For example, Bill Gates of Microsoft provided the preshow keynote speech at CES for many years. The keynotes give engineers the lay of the land for consumer electronics for the rest of the year and then some, which can...

December 1, 2008[Technology Report] Top FPGAs Excel While Best Chips Simplify Design
For design flexibility, FPGAs are unsurpassed. But they have typically suffered performance or power penalties to achieve that distinction. Now, those penalties exist no more. This year’s best FPGAs can take a leading role in highvolume and high-performance designs. The structures that typical FPGAs use to provide their configurability add overhead to their internal design. To achieve functional density and performance levels comparable to those...
