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 ...

Decimal arithmetic is indispensable in applications where precision is paramount, such as in financial, commercial and scientific domains. The inherent challenges of decimal computation, particularly ...

A new research paper titled “FPGA Random Number Generator” was published by a researcher at Johns Hopkins University. According to the paper’s abstract: “This paper offers a proof-of-concept for ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
