In our case we're an FPGA shop looking to transition. There really needs to be a support group for people like us. We have a hard time figuring out what's even feasible.
- bsder 8y agoThere used to be companies like that. Unfortunately, the market for that is so small that it simply isn't worth it and they all died.
- slededit 8y agoThe difference these days is that with the death of Dennard scaling and Moore's law there's a place now for customized hardware. You really can beat Intel and even NVidia now for specialized workloads with FPGAs. Of course you'd be even better with an ASIC which is why we're leaning that way.
- someguydave 8y agoIntel sees this threat which is why they are working to glue an altera asic onto the xeon core. I don't think it's likely they will succeed though.
