Moore’s Law is Dead – Long Live the chiplet
Dr. Gordon Moore was the Director of Research and Development at Fairchild when he wrote the paper, “Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits” which was published in the April 19, 1965 issue of Electronics. Following this publication, Dr. Carver Mead of Caltech declared Dr. Moore’s predictions as “Moore’s Law”. For the latest VHDL projects, code snippets, … Continue reading Moore’s Law is Dead – Long Live the chiplet
FPGA’er is alive and kicking!
(We just changed our website address). The new blog has several new articles and features, in addition to actualizations of articles that were hosted in the past on this website.

Image processing on FPGA (1)
Introduction This is meant to be the first among a series of articles about image processing on FPGA. As it is usual on FPGA'er website, articles will include sample code and test benches. Basic concepts Let's define some common technology. A digital image is a frame. For starters, we will analyze grayscale images (as opposed … Continue reading Image processing on FPGA (1)
Keras and IMDB: Love, hate, sex and money
Keras is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano. I have recently installed Anaconda, TensorFlow, and Keras in my laptop PC as part of my Deep Machine Learning (DML) plan. I am reading two books in for my learning effort in parallel: MIT's Deep Learning book … Continue reading Keras and IMDB: Love, hate, sex and money
