| Driven by the thirst for 3D gaming in consumer electronics, current graphics processing units (GPUs) have evolved into powerful, programmable vector processors that can speed up a wide variety of software applications. These “general-purpose GPUs,” as they are known, are no longer limited to the consumer market. They are making their entrance into the embedded market with the arrival of the new AMD Embedded G-Series platform. |
| Creating a reliable memory layout is one of the most difficult challenges when laying out a motherboard. It is getting more difficult with each speed enhancement of the DDR3 memory interface. A verified rules-based methodology provides an alternative to time-consuming layout simulation and offers an easy-to-understand method to achieve a reliable solution. Memory layout checking tools, such as those provided by AMD, provide an invaluable resource to verify an in-progress design and the final design. For designers, the bottom line is that while creating a reliable memory interface layout is daunting at best, and challenging at worst, a rules-based methodology coupled with great checking tools can decrease overall effort and time while increasing the quality of the memory-interface layout. |
