AMD Celebrates Four Decades of FPGA Innovation - From Invention to AI Acceleration

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first commercially available field-programmable gate array (FPGA), introducing the idea of reprogrammable hardware. By creating "hardware as flexible as software," FPGA reprogrammable logic changed the face of semiconductor design. For the first time, developers could design a chip, and if specs or requirements changed mid-stream, or even after manufacturing, they could redefine its functionality to pe…

AMD celebrates 40 years of Xilinx

Forty years ago saw the launch of a revolutionary device that could be programmed with logic at the engineer’s desk. The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) developed at Xilinx enabled engineers to download a bitstream with custom logic to a desktop programmer to run immediately, without having to wait weeks for a chip to come […] The post AMD celebrates 40 years of Xilinx appeared first on eeNews Europe.
