Physics Processing Engine for Gaming
Saturday, 24 June 2006 8:31 P GMT-06
Computer games have progressed an enormous amount over the years, especially in the areas of graphics and game play. One area that still lags is the realism of physical events in the game. Graphics performance has been driven by specializ

Hardware Modeler Simulation Acceleration
Wednesday, 14 June 2006 8:36 P GMT-06
A correction to the hardware modeler post is that simulation acceleration is not very likely using a hardware modeler. In fact the simulations will most likely take much longer than regular RTL simulations. It might be possible to achieve

Hardware Modeler
Monday, 12 June 2006 9:13 P GMT-06
What is a hardware modeler? A relic of a time when ASICs were a good fit for many medium volume applications and simulation models were hard to come by. FPGA's have largely replaced ASICs in the medium volume applications, and most semico

Serial System Signal Integrity Measurements
Monday, 5 June 2006 8:29 P GMT-06
When verifying the signal quality in a serial digital communication system, measurements are made on a signal to create an eye diagram and compute the total jitter. Many oscilloscopes can also extract the random and deterministic components of
