Field Programmable Logic and Application
Author: Jürgen Becker
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540301178
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1226
Book Description
This book contains the papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) held during August 30th- September 1st 2004. The conference was hosted by the Interuniversity Micro- Electronics Center (IMEC) in Leuven, Belgium. The FPL series of conferences was founded in 1991 at Oxford University (UK), and has been held annually since: in Oxford (3 times), Vienna, Prague, Darmstadt, London, Tallinn, Glasgow, Villach, Belfast, Montpellier and Lisbon. It is the largest and oldest conference in reconfigurable computing and brings together academic researchers, industry experts, users and newcomers in an informal, welcoming atmosphere that encourages productive exchange of ideas and knowledge between the delegates. The fast and exciting advances in field programmable logic are increasing steadily with more and more application potential and need. New ground has been broken in architectures, design techniques, (partial) run-time reconfiguration and applications of field programmable devices in several different areas. Many of these recent innovations are reported in this volume. The size of the FPL conferences has grown significantly over the years. FPL in 2003 saw 216 papers submitted. The interest and support for FPL in the programmable logic community continued this year with 285 scientific papers submitted, demonstrating a 32% increase when compared to the year before. The technical program was assembled from 78 selected regular papers, 45 additional short papers and 29 posters, resulting in this volume of proceedings. The program also included three invited plenary keynote presentations from Xilinx, Gilder Technology Report and Altera, and three embedded tutorials from Xilinx, the Universit ̈ at Karlsruhe (TH) and the University of Oslo.

Exploring the Early Digital
Author: Thomas Haigh
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030021521
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Changes in the present challenge us to reinterpret the past, but historians have not yet come to grips with the convergence of computing, media, and communications technology. Today these things are inextricably intertwined, in technologies such as the smartphone and internet, in convergent industries, and in social practices. Yet they remain three distinct historical subfields, tilled by different groups of scholars using different tools. We often call this conglomeration “the digital,” recognizing its deep connection to the technology of digital computing. Unfortunately, interdisciplinary studies of digital practices, digital methods, or digital humanities have rarely been informed by deep engagement with the history of computing.Contributors to this volume have come together to reexamine an apparently familiar era in the history of computing through new lenses, exploring early digital computing and engineering practice as digital phenomena rather than as engines of mathematics and logic. Most focus on the period 1945 to 1960, the era in which the first electronic digital computers were created and the computer industry began to develop. Because digitality is first and foremost a way of reading objects and encoding information within them, we are foregrounding topics that have until now been viewed as peripheral in the history of computing: betting odds calculators, card file systems, program and data storage, programmable calculators, and digital circuit design practices. Reconceptualizing the “history of computing” as study of the “early digital” decenters the stored program computer, repositioning it as one of many digital technologies.

Exploration of semiconductor Product
Author: Andrew .J
Publisher: Andrew .J
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
The semiconductor market refers to the industry involved in the design, development, manufacturing, and distribution of semiconductors, which are the building blocks of electronic devices. Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between that of conductors (such as metals) and insulators (such as plastics). They are primarily made of silicon, although other materials like gallium arsenide, germanium, and indium phosphide are also used. The semiconductor market has experienced significant growth over the years due to the increasing demand for electronic devices and advancements in technology. The market is driven by various factors such as the growing demand of smartphones and mobile devices, the expansion of the automotive industry, the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the development of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and autonomous vehicles, etc. To sum up, the semiconductor market is a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry that plays a critical role in shaping the modern technological landscape. Its growth is driven by advancements in various sectors, and it continues to be a key enabler of innovation and technological progress. The range of individual technological elements necessary for the semiconductor industry is extensive, leading to the publication of numerous technical books across various domains. (while it is understandable that advanced technologies specific to each company are not publicly disclosed due to concerns regarding potential leaks) These publications have undeniably played a significant role in aiding professionals and students for establishing a solid foundation of knowledge. In addition to the importance of individual technologies, it is necessary to examine what final products emerge as these technologies converge. While consumer electronics such as PCs and smartphones vary, there are common aspects among the semiconductor products that constitute them. Should one seek more comprehensive materials, it often entails a costly purchase of white paper. In this book, we aim to delve into a more in-depth discussion of the semiconductor market, with an emphasis on the product perspective. To accomplish this, we will extensively draw upon various academic and market resources. Additionally, in order to foster a comprehensive understanding of the market, it is necessary to have a certain level of familiarity with technical elements. Therefore, some technical explanations alongside the discussions is provided. In this book, we primarily focus on the FAB (Fabrication) domain. This book is divided into three major parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the semiconductor market, covering the definition, significance, supply chain structure, regional characteristics, challenges, and more within the semiconductor industry. Part 2, the major portion of this book, offers a comprehensive explanation of the most widely used types of semiconductor products. Particularly high market share products, notably Microcomponents, APs, and memory semiconductors, will have separate in-depth descriptions provided in the appendix. Finally, Part 3 will outline the general process by which these products are designed, focusing on a typical perspective, up to the stage just before Foundry.

Quantifying and Exploring the Gap Between FPGAs and ASICs
Author: Ian Kuon
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441907394
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are pre-fabricated, programmable digital integrated circuits (ICs), provide easy access to state-of-the-art integrated circuit process technology, and in doing so, democratize this technology of our time. This book is about comparing the qualities of FPGA – their speed performance, area and power consumption, against custom-fabricated ICs, and exploring ways of mitigating their de ciencies. This work began as a question that many have asked, and few had the resources to answer – how much worse is an FPGA compared to a custom-designed chip? As we dealt with that question, we found that it was far more dif cult to answer than we anticipated, but that the results were rich basic insights on fundamental understandings of FPGA architecture. It also encouraged us to nd ways to leverage those insights to seek ways to make FPGA technology better, which is what the second half of the book is about. While the question “How much worse is an FPGA than an ASIC?” has been a constant sub-theme of all research on FPGAs, it was posed most directly, some time around May 2004, by Professor Abbas El Gamal from Stanford University to us – he was working on a 3D FPGA, and was wondering if any real measurements had been made in this kind of comparison. Shortly thereafter we took it up and tried to answer in a serious way.
