MathWorks just unveiled three automatic source code-generation products designed to take days and even weeks off of engineering projects. MATLAB Coder, allowing design engineers to generate readable, ...

In a recently published white paper, we examine how SLX FPGA is used to take a MATLAB Embedded Coder generated C/C++ algorithm, in this case a Kalman filter, and optimize the C/C++ code for HLS. In ...

Overall, AlphaDev’s new C++ sorting algorithms are 1.7 percent more efficient than the prior methods when sorting long sequences of numbers, and up to 70 percent faster for five-item sequences.

The existing C++ algorithm for sorting a list of five items took around 6.91 nanoseconds on a typical Intel Skylake chip. AlphaDev’s took 2.01 nanoseconds, around 70% faster. Related Story ...

It can run Shor’s algorithm in cut-down form – confirming that 3 and 5 multiply to form 15. Unlike the silicon chips inside conventional computers, the Bristol team’s chip uses light rather ...
