Learn more about CPU IP core

Achieving maximum motor efficiency using dual core ARM SoC FPGAs

Michael Parker of Altera Corp. describes how to use an ARM/FPGA-based SoC for real-time machine control algorithm operations. He also describes how the SoC can function as a network processor to link up to the real-time network protocols used in many industrial automation applications.

FPGAs unleash potential of Flash memory for enterprise applications

Enterprise storage subsystems today are undergoing an essential transformation. The sheer volume of enterprise data and transactions is increasing by as much as 50-60% per year. The rapid proliferation of cloud computing and virtualization as a means to more efficiently manage these burgeoning data workloads has spawned explosive growth in the number and size of data centers. Along with the exponential growth in enterprise storage comes an imperative to improve memory subsystem performance capacity and value.

Understanding Peak Floating-Point Performance Calculations

Let's look at how we go about comparing the performance of the DSP, GPU, and FPGA architectures based on their peak FLOPS rating. The peak FLOPS rating is determined by multiplying the sum of the adders and multipliers by the maximum operation frequency.
