Microsoft prepares for security in a world where our old codes are easily broken. Get familiar with these technologies now ...

The people at DeepMind took the same approach as they had with chess and Go: They turned code optimization into a game.The AlphaDev system developed x86 assembly algorithms that treated the ...

Using a design flow put together by Mentor Graphics and Altera, designers can implement complex DSP algorithms in high-performance FPGAs directly from ANSI C++ code. The flow, ...

The new product eliminates the time-intensive translation of MATLAB algorithm code for prototyping, implementation and software integration. The result is having only one design in MATLAB, the ability ...

Overall, AlphaDev’s new C++ sorting algorithms are 1.7 percent more efficient than the prior methods when sorting long sequences of numbers, and up to 70 percent faster for five-item sequences.

The existing C++ algorithm for sorting a list of five items took around 6.91 nanoseconds on a typical Intel Skylake chip. AlphaDev’s took 2.01 nanoseconds, around 70% faster. Related Story ...

A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...

Scientists have developed an exact approach to a key quantum error correction problem once believed to be unsolvable, and have shown that what appeared to be hardware-related errors may in fact be due ...

Safe C++ Extensions proposal would provide C++ developers with memory-safe implementations of essential data structures and algorithms, along with features that prevent common memory-related errors.

Called SmartHLS, the tool allows C++ algorithms to be directly translated to FPGA-optimised RTL (register transfer level) code. It is based on the open-source Eclipse integrated development ...
