Designing a synchronous finite state machine (FSM) is a common task for a digital logic engineer. This paper discusses a variety of issues regarding FSM design using Verilog and VHDL coding styles.

Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core, FSM ...

The need for a way to execute concurrent tasks within Java has been addressed within JSE by the java.util.concurrent.Executor and in a limited fashion in JEE by the WorkManager specification.

This year at APEC 2014 I saw many interesting trends. One of the key ones was the increased use of State machine control for Digital power. I saw this begin last year at APEC and now it is in full ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

We’ll beat everyone to the punch: yes, actually building a working Turing machine, especially one that uses a Raspberry Pi, is probably something that would have pushed [Alan Turing]’s buttons, and ...
