Every once in a while, I hear about FPAA's (field programmable _analog_ arrays), but the concept never seems to take off despite serious efforts, even by Motorola in the 90's.
Isn't the GPAC the same thing?
I suppose the reason these aren't popular is because the use-cases are rather narrow (or at least usually implementable with an ordinary digital approach)?
- ch 11y agoWell the GPAC is a model of computing, much like a Turing machine, so they are not the same thing, though certainly this model influences the work of FPAA's.
