Session details: Specialized processing systems for embedded computing

We have all heard about the increasing software content of embedded systems. To those who think of embedded software as autonomous programs hidden deep within the system, plugging away transparently and reliably on dedicated tasks, this increase might ...

Hardware acceleration significantly increases the performance of embedded systems built on programmable logic. Allowing a FPGA-based MicroBlaze processor to self-select the coprocessors it uses can help reduce area requirements and increase a system's ...

In any digital system design, it is crucial to achieve the lowest time-to-market possible. Indeed, that need has pushed large FPGA manufacturers to produce SoCs which will implement reprogrammable logic along with CPU and DSP cores. Especially, during ...
