Silicon densities, both for ASICs and FPGAs, can now support true systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). This level of design requires busing systems to connect various components ...

All computing devices, from smartphones to supercomputers, pass data back and forth along electronic channels called "buses." You can think about the buses like freeways, in that having additional ...

DLX is an open source microprocessor, it’s free and it has never been implemented in a commercial ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) design. The objective of this project is to use the ...

San Jose, Calif. — Advanced Micro Devices will drop its current Athlon and Duron EV6 bus architecture for its upcoming 64-bit Hammer-series processors to allow for connecting large multiprocessing ...

This paper describes a modeling project to architect the bus topology and evaluate the read/write traffic patterns for a new multimedia System-On-Chip. Using the selected modeling and simulation ...

First published May 14, 1997. Intel finally went public on the radical new architecture required by the Pentium II processor last week. Banging the drum for the Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

Microsoft has finally lifted the curtain on the Xbox One, with a great deal of technical detail on display at the Hot Chips conference. For the first time, we've got a view into how the architecture ...
