Summer is here. The kids are out of school. Families are taking well-deserved holidays and vacations or even enjoying local staycations. Even though it's summer, design engineers still need to move their new projects along. Additionally, designers need to keep their skills sharp and learn about the latest tools. Some upcoming webinars will no doubt help the engineering community stay updated on FPGA SoMs, expansion buses and associated interconnects, and the latest on PCI Express® … [Read more...]
Samtec High-Speed Interconnect Enable New Artix and Kintex UltraScale+ SoMs
"Here we go again!" Yes, it is another blog on FPGA-based system-on-modules (SoMs). Why, you, dear reader, may wonder? Simply, embedded computing engineers love the versatility, flexibility and scalability that SoMs offer in system architecture design. Secondly, so many SoMs use Samtec high-speed board-to-boardconnectors. Here we go again, indeed! ;) UltraSOM! - New Artix UltraScale+SoM Family Embedded computing is global in nature, but there seems to be a lot of SoM design and FPGA … [Read more...]
Xilinx Kria™ Adaptive SoMs Feature Samtec AcceleRate® HD Slim Body Arrays
Rapidly-growing AI system capabilities are driving new product architectures that demand increased speeds, bandwidths, frequencies and densities. Scalability and configurability are a must. In embedded applications, many AI systems leverage the ease of design and economies of scale of systems-on-modules (SoMs). System-on-modules are an example of make or buy system design. A SoM includes the system compute engine (MCU, FPGA, GPU, etc.) as well as general support circuitry like DRAM, power and … [Read more...]
GPU Scalable Array Server Features SEARAY™
A number of embedded applications leverage the brute-force serial processing of x86 CPUs. Higher speed CPUs lead to higher performance embedded computers. This model works in general computing applications, but parallel computing solutions offer another option for high efficiency and performance. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) differ from CPUs in basic architecture. GPUs contains a larger number of smaller and efficient cores designed for parallel processing. GPUs … [Read more...]
