FPGA Speedster22i from Achronix Semiconductor

26.02.2013

FPGA specialist Achronix Semiconductor has announced the delivery of the industry's first 22nm FPGA Speedster 22i HD1000. Achronix does not have its own production. The contract manufacturer of the new FPGAs was Intel.

The Speedster22i chips use 22nm Tri-Gate bulk transistors. This allowed them to halve their power consumption and cost compared to competing high-performance FPGAs. The new Achronix products are the only ones equipped with 10/40/100G Ethernet, Interlaken 100 Gb/s, PCI Express Gen1/2/3 and DDR3-2133 interfaces.

Launching the Speedster22i family, the Speedster1000i HD22 is configured with 1 million equivalent LUTs (700 programmable and 000 additional functionality, including the above interfaces). In addition, developers have access to 300 Mb of RAM, 000 programmable I/O lines, and 86 lines of serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial converters with a throughput of 960 Gbps.

The $1000 HD13000 Development Kit includes a PCI Express expansion card with FPGA, programmer, and ACE software. Samples of the Speedster22i HD1000 are now available. The next model, the Speedster22i HD680P, is slated for release in the second quarter. The senior model of the family, Speedster22i HD1500, will be released towards the end of the year.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Neural compass in the brain 22.08.2019

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recorded the activity of multiple anterodorsal nucleus neurons in a mouse's brain while the mouse itself ran free. The work of those neurons that responded to head turns was then analyzed using topological methods.

Several thousand of these cells form a curved annular structure. (A similar ring was previously discovered in the Drosophila brain.) This ring converts heterogeneous information that enters the brain from the outside into information about which direction the head is in - turning the head corresponds to turning on neurons in one or another segment of the ring. Moreover, if a neuron makes a mistake, its neighbors will correct it, that is, the activity of nerve cells is attracted to a certain trajectory, as in mathematical attractors.

Even in a dream, when the neurons are almost disconnected from the outside world, the "compass" ring still worked - most likely because even in a dream the head is still directed somewhere, and the compass still feels this direction. True, in a dream, the shape and size of the ring changed - a different number of cells analyzed the position of the head, and relied on information of a different kind than during wakefulness.

In this case, it is important not only that they managed to discover the "compass", but also that the researchers for the first time managed to see a neural system that converts a lot of concrete facts into fairly abstract information - how the abstract direction of the head is obtained from specific stimuli acting on the senses . It is possible that other cognitive processes based on generalizations are carried out in similar neural structures, which, however, can have very different forms.
