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 ...
The need to combine performance with low power consumption in edge-compute applications has driven demand for FPGAs to be used as power-efficient accelerators while also providing flexibility and ...
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 ...
The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) has engineered NAG C Library algorithms to execute efficiently on Cavium ThunderX ARMv8-A based Workload Optimized Processors. Preliminary results, announced at ...
The AI-generated algorithms are already being used by millions of developers. DeepMind’s run of discoveries in fundamental computer science continues. Last year the company used a version of its ...
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 ...
