by Kevin Morris Integration is the fundamental fuel that drives technical innovation. Each new node of Moore’s Law has allowed us to “Cram More Components” onto our integrated circuits, facilitating greater and greater levels of integration on chunks of silicon. But even in today’s “System on Chip” era, we do not truly have “systems” on a chip. Sure, we can pack processors, a lot of close peripherals, and some memory onto a single chip, but even our most integrated ICs pose challenges for bringing them into modern systems. The latest memory and data interfa...

by Kevin Morris Xilinx made a batch of announcements this week aimed at the data center. The company rolled out a new line of programmable network 100Gb/s SmartNIC interface cards, a “SmartWorld AI” video analytics solution, an algorithmic trading framework, and (finally) the Xilinx App Store. Taken together, they make good on Xilinx’s long-term “data center first” strategy. And, viewed on a more macro scale, they represent the execution of a strategy to dramatically grow the FPGA market. As data rates have skyrocketed, increasing amounts of CPU power have been c...

Gate array for data plane, CPU cores for control plane Share Copy Xilinx will today launch a network card that not only offloads acceleration to an FPGA but also to an on-board NXP chip containing 16 Arm CPU cores. The Cortex-A72 Arm core cluster is expected to run Linux – Ubuntu and Yocto are supported – and act as the control plane, and the gate array as the data plane chugging through packets flowing in and out of the card. The addition of extra CPU oomph is perhaps a sign that customers wanted to run application software and services on the board as well as use its raw hardwar...
