Konijn Design Studio

For those of you new to RISC-V, it is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that began as a 2010 project of UC Berkeley’s Parallel Computing Laboratory and is now ushering in a new era of chip design and innovation. As the adoption of RISC-V accelerates, it will be used to support a plethora of devices and products, from automotive to 5G and wireless networking, to data centers and beyond. We are seeing new RISC-V architectures that are, for example, designed to deliver new capabilities for pre-silicon development, allowing new ways for SoC (System-on-Chip) architects and system software developers to define new products. This enables organizations to quickly prototype a product, including products for automotive with safety packages. (an excerpt from “Driving the Future of Chip Innovation: Top Three Reasons to Adopt RISC-V” by Desi Banatao) As a RISC architecture, the RISC-V ISA is a load–store architecture . Its floating-point instructions use IEEE 754 floating-poi

In a previous blog article about RAD (Rapid Application Development) , I have explained quite a few benefits about the reason of RAD. Since the article was published, I was being asked with a lot questions about how to quickly develop a prototype PHP web applications with minimal development. Well, here comes the short list of ready-to-use PHP libraries that will definitely speed up your PHP application development. And those are the classes, frameworks, libraries that I've used in the PHP applications that I've developed for my clients. blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload - File Upload widget with multiple file selection, drag&drop support, progress bar, validation and preview images, audio and video for jQuery. Supports cross-domain, chunked and resumable file uploads. Works with any server-side platform (Google App Engine, PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, Java, etc.) that supports standard HTML form file uploads.
