As we discussed in Part 1 (Architecture) of this mini-series, Elemental Computing Arrays (ECAs) are a departure from classic hardware architectures. Thus, not surprisingly, they require a design ...

The application of Petri nets in cyber-physical systems and reconfigurable computing offers a robust framework for formalising and verifying the behaviour of complex, interactive systems. By providing ...

We are living in the realm of Industry 4.0 today, which is a digital paradigm referring to the integration of cutting-edge computing and digital technologies into global industries. Some of the key ...

Traditional computing systems struggle with dynamic adaptation and suffer from the separation of sensing, processing, and memory functions, leading to high energy consumption and latency. Neuromorphic ...

Though the concept of reconfigurable computing has been floating around for years and has attracted the attention of several researchers and vendors, there still is no commonly accepted definition of ...

The next leap in computer performance may come from letting computer processors reconfigure themselves to operate more efficiently. Because FPGA logic can be dynamically reconfigured from 100 to 1,000 ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Editor's Note: ASICs, FPGAs, CPUs/DSPs, and SoCs have been joined by a new kid on the block – the Elemental Computing Array (ECA) from Element CXI. In Part 1 of this mini-series we introduced the ECA ...
