Wednesday, September 22, 2010. In this case, MIPS Technologies. And now we see yet more advances from ARM, newer cores such as the Cortex-A15. And promised improvements this year and next seem to set the field for an even greater market penetration by ARM. So I really do wonder, where will MIPS go now?

Monday, March 14, 2011. As Time Goes By. A beautiful song, but should it be appropriate to look back on a post that is nearly two and a half years old (April 2008) and realise that nothing has really changed?

Wednesday, November 28, 2007. The NIOS-II goes ASIC - Processors migrate. With Altera and Synopsys recently joining forces to offer the NIOS-II processor core for use in ASIC's, and the attendant media focus, it is worth looking around at what others have been doing as well. Wouldn't that be nice! I am a design ...

Thursday, April 17, 2008. The NMRA and NMRAnet - a broken standards development process. Then someone tried to float a standard into the National Model Railroad Association (of the USA) to create an NMRA approved standard. So a working group was established. Sheesh! So the group is going well and moving forward ...
