FPGA-based hardware acceleration for "X" seems like a really practical idea. Any chance of seeing this kind of technology expand in the future?

- amirhirsch 11y agoThere's been a lot of use of FPGAs for acceleration. Netezza is a good example of an early win in this space. FPGAs have become only slightly easier to program in the last 10 years... Intel bough Altera and will integrate FPGAs into the Xeon this year so expect to see this expand.

- Terribledactyl 11y agoHere is a device that recreates many classic computers with an FPGA https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki and I can also think of http://redpitaya.com http://redpitaya.com which is primarily an FPGA based O-scope and SDR, but you can download "apps" for it to work of other common electronics workbench devices.
