If you talk to anyone with a smartphone or a laptop, you’ll inevitably hear them gripe about the “slow software” or the “spinning wheel.” But do they complain about the processor or other chips in the ...

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 ...

Here on Hackaday, we’re generally designers of hacks that live in the real world. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that some of the most interesting feats are at the mercy of what’s possible in software, ...

This year’s boom in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically generative AI, has made people reimagine what AI is capable of. Where a single machine learning model used to be capable of more singular ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

Hardware/software co-design is when the software and hardware are developed simultaneously, bringing the software and hardware teams together to optimize a design. The initial idea behind co-design ...

Hardware/software co-design has been talked about, and predicted to be a problem, for at least two decades now. Why has the hardware/software development world not come to an end? In 1999, Wilf ...

This report first appeared on CyberScoop. Pentagon scientists say they could stop 40 percent of current cyberattacks by producing secure computer chips, and Friday they explain how to a closed-door ...

Designing hardware and software simultaneously is a key factor in reducing time-to-market. Although some vendors are talking about tools to facilitate the task, we still have a long way to go before ...

Many designers are familiar with open-source software, such as Linux, in which the source code is available to all. However, fewer are familiar with organizations offering open-source hardware. These ...

Xilinx’s SDSoC development environment turns code into FPGA logic. It targets Xilinx Zynq and Zynq MPSoC FPGA platforms. Xilinx’s SDSoC represents a major shift in support for SoC FPGAs. It opens FPGA ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- After eight years as director of engineering for iPhone, iPod, and iPad accessories at Apple, Jesse Dorogusker could have gone just about anywhere he wanted for his next gig. He chose ...
