I work on FPGAs professionally and it is hard for me to come up with many commercial applications for them outside of what they're currently used for.

- mikewarot 6y agoWhat if FPGAs were $1 each, would that change it for you?
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoThe problem is getting data to/from the FPGA, which imposes unavoidable latency. If you want to do this fast it can't be done cheaply because it requires too much silicon. Aside from simulation type tasks, the tasks best suited for FPGAs are streaming tasks for this reason since once you've started streaming data through the FPGA you don't need to worry about latency too much.
