We launched the Plunify Cloud platform in 2018 and introduced 2 new tools for FPGA designers. Corporate users can use the FPGA Expansion Pack (FEP) plugin to easily compile their designs in the cloud from Vivado. Another tool, AI Lab, allows FPGA designers to start a virtual environment in the cloud without worrying about the […]

Generated RTL code from a C-to-RTL tool is not easy to understand. Here is how to increase design performance without changing any RTL. Story High-level design enables a design to be captured in a concise and succinct manner, resulting in fewer errors and easier debugging. However, the oft-repeated concern is performance trade-off. Achieving high performance […]
Cloud is shaping EDA like never before. Today, we are releasing the full InTime tool on the Plunify AI Lab platform. Announcing InTime on AI Lab InTime is officially included on AI Lab as one of the tools on the Plunify Cloud eco-system. This combines the cloud’s massive compute power to the ubiquitous of AI Lab platform to benefit more […]
What is AI Lab? Plunify’s AI Lab is a cloud-based development environment that can be pre-loaded and pre-configured with Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence (AI) software like CUDA and Caffe. AI Lab also supports FPGA tools like Vivado and SDSoc. Because of the ubiquity nature of cloud computing, AI Lab’s functions are available for every machine […]
You may think that it’s impossible to run Vivado on a lightweight machine like a Chromebook. After all, FPGA design is a compute-heavy task that is only practical with your company’s workstations and high-performance servers. So how do we do it? Mission Impossible? Okay, we confess; We can’t bend the laws of physics so we […]
In FPGA design optimization, it is practically impossible to predict the effect of every possible placement and route in advance. Exploring the endless combinations of settings to find good ones is like navigating correctly through a teeming traffic thoroughfare. So drawing inspiration from autonomous driving that successfully solved the road navigation problems, how do you […]
Plunify’s newest FPGA Expansion Pack for Vivado is the latest addition to a suite of cloud-enabled tools on Plunify Cloud. This tool was created for FPGA designers who have explored and are ready or perhaps have already adopted the cloud. They can relate easily to the following account of a typical customer’s experience. Plunify has been […]
Today we announce an exciting new partnership with Xilinx to provide on-demand licenses of the best-in-class Vivado Design Suite HLx Editions software on the Plunify Cloud. Plunify Cloud is built upon the largest cloud provider – Amazon Web Services. What you can look forward to under the new Plunify-Xilinx agreement is a cloud-based platform encompassing […]

With offices all across the globe, Atomos has a clear vision — to revolutionize digital video production by combining smart workflows with simple operation to deliver cost-effective recording and conversion solutions for today’s video and film professionals. Challenges Atomos had four product designs to deliver […]
This whitepaper compares the effectiveness of two timing optimization methods: The InTime Default recipe provided by the InTime FPGA design optimization tool and another one commonly known as a “Seed Sweep”. InTime Default is a machine learning approach that finds good synthesis and place-and-route setting combinations for a design. It shares data insights across different […]
