MUNICH, Germany — Jianwen Zhu, a professor at the University of Toronto, proposed a new register-transfer level (RTL) abstraction syntax which he claimed can be implemented by a modest extension to ...

The amount of complexity by which a system is viewed or programmed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the entire system.

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

The industry has begun to converge on the main characteristics that make up a software defined networking (SDN) architecture, as you can see in blog posts like those on the SDxCentral "must read list" ...

Recently I was having a conversation with a user who was creating cycle accurate SystemC models. My initial thought was, “Why would this be necessary?” Through the course of discussions I realized ...

I was doing research when I found a suitable definition of levels of abstraction. Honestly, it’s a topic most of us know intuitively without ever fully defining it, like rain. Rain is water droplets ...

What if you could strip away the layers of abstraction that operating systems impose and interact directly with your computer’s hardware? Imagine crafting a program where every instruction is executed ...

Let’s just assume that after adding communications costs and management overhead, the cost to move offshore to a low-cost country is half of the cost of having engineers in a high-cost location. This ...
