We propose the use of XML for specifying and designing hardware. Many different methods for the specification of hardware designs are in use. The majority of these are based on either closed markup ...

It’s been just over a year since Valve released Index, their flagship VR system, and it’s worth looking back at this GitHub repository as a fine example of how to provide supporting materials to a ...

Although steps of the design process may differ for different types of hardware, the basic design procedures remain the same. Rarely, however, do companies detail an entire process in a written ...

A technical paper titled “PEak: A Single Source of Truth for Hardware Design and Verification” was published by researchers at Stanford University. “Domain-specific languages for hardware can ...

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 ...

Firmware engineers and systems board designers face huge learning curves as they design and control systems that are increasingly complex. Today's embedded system circuits are so complex that, even ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.

Semiconductor engineering sat down to whether changes are needed in hardware design methodology, with Philip Gutierrez, ASIC/FPGA design manager in IBM‘s FlashSystems Storage Group; Dennis Brophy, ...

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...
