How do we think bigger with smaller devices?

by Adam Taylor | Aug 21, 2026 | Live

There’s an odd duality in modern FPGA design. We want them to do more, compute more, include more features and deliver results faster and more efficiently. Yet at the same time, there are often competing demands for them to have a smaller footprint and use less power....

Why security knowledge is now a must‑have for FPGA engineers

by Adam Taylor | Aug 21, 2026 | Live

FPGAs no longer live inside closed, single‑purpose systems where the environments are tightly controlled and predictable. They now sit in cloud servers, edge AI devices, automotive platforms, and industrial IoT nodes, in space as well as on Earth. They are updated...

Where AI is taking modern FPGA design and verification

by Adam Taylor | Jul 29, 2026 | Live

Ever since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, I have been fascinated by the possibilities (as well as the potential pitfalls) of using AI. Now it’s everywhere, and in all different flavors, and whether you write code or content, or generate images, chances are AI...

Where is the future taking FPGA design and development?

by Adam Taylor | Sep 2, 2025 | Live

One aspect of FPGA design and development I like the most is that it’s always changing. A decade ago, it was about deep RTL expertise, vendor-specific flows, and deterministic, long-term deployments, and our focus was on maximizing performance per watt for...

Where COTS products enter the picture in FPGA design and development

by Adam Taylor | Sep 2, 2025 | Live

I think everyone would agree that FPGA design is hard work. The combination of hardware, software and systems engineering in one place, at one time, is complex and it takes a lot of time and effort before you have a successful build. Sometimes more time and effort...
