How do you close the gap between I wonder and I know? You make a prototype. A prototype is a tool that gives you a chance to investigate your ideas and explore what could, should, or would come next, ...

High-speed, pre-silicon system models help developers start software development earlier and ensure timely product release. As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...

Bench setups with physical prototypes lie at the very heart of electrical and electronic engineering. With all due respect to the many powerful forms of modeling and simulation, at some point the ...

In previous articles I have talked about prototyping in general “Prototypes: What is a prototype?” and some of the consideration when deciding if a prototype would be beneficial, and then deciding on ...

The IAEA is launching a new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) to support Member States in thermal-hydraulics modelling, tools development and experimental studies applicable to the design of ...
