In the SoC design for hardware acceleration series, author Sam Siewert migrates a simple C function to a SystemC specification that can be simulated and verified for ultimate implementation as a hardware function. Part 1 provided the C code and a general overview of video capture, streaming, and processing. Part 2 shows how hardware acceleration of emergent applications can benefit from SoC design and reconfigurable SoCs with hybrid C software and field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based functionality.

Read more about IBM's frozen chip advances and industry efforts to craft flexible circuits at room temperature, rumors of a Cell Broadband Engine-based supercomputer and other Cell BE- and console-related news, plus: good news for Cobol programmers, and for DAC attendees, there is such a thing as a free lunch.

Is it true that Fido's RFID chip could shut down the Las Vegas airport? The old game of anti-virus software companies claiming to have found some Deadly Virus Out There has made its way to the twenty-first century. Except now you need to watch out for RFID chips.
