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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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, ...

It is possible to achieve five-nines reliability with everyday commercial-quality hardware and software. The key is the way in which these components are combined. Our society has come to expect ...

What are the five core principles of hardware/software co-design? How do these principles help build a geographically diverse engineering organization that can successfully develop complex solutions ...
