I can think of two possibilities:
1. Hardware accelerated custom crypto algorithms.
2. Specialized co-processor. You could implement an exotic processing architecture on the FPGA to off-load computations to, like a complex number processor with 52-bit words in a custom floating point format for a specific application.
- agumonkey 8y agoI don't know how fast the FPGA can reconfigure itself or part of it, but you could also have per process bare metal JIT
- slivym 8y agoIt takes in the order of seconds to reconfigure. JIT is not really viable.
- GuB-42 8y agoAnother use case is if you have a large amount of asynchronous I/O and real time constraints.
