Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Hardware abstraction layers (HALs) are an important layer to every embedded software application. A HAL allows a developer to abstract or decouple the hardware details from the application code.

Editor's Note: There are a lot of folks who are interested in accelerating their algorithms/programs written in C or C++. Many of these guys and gals are aware that FPGA-based accelerators are ...

On its own, the software development process has numerous hazards and obstacles that require navigation in order to successfully launch a product. The last thing that any engineer wants is challenges ...
