I wonder what a better future for Intel + Altera would have looked like. There's a bunch of the Xeon+FPGA chips about, but only a couple HARP systems where slot #2 just was an FPGA. https://www.nextplatform.com/ai/2018/05/24/a-peek-inside-that-intel-xeon-fpga-hybrid-chip/1657255 https://www.nextplatform.com/ai/2018/05/24/a-peek-inside-tha... My read is that there really is some huge opportunity but only if companies are at all willing to tune in to Open Source toolchains & There's interesting times with XDNA NPUs being modest sized on-chip programmable FPGA, that AMD has had to spend huge time just starting to figure out their own bespoke solutions for, on Windows and Linux. Lots of kernel & talking to the dogs work at amdxdna, https://www.phoronix.com/search/AMDXDNA https://www.phoronix.com/search/AMDXDNA then mlir-air mostly for targeting the fpga; https://github.com/Xilinx/mlir-air https://github.com/Xilinx/mlir-air mostly, with for example https://github.com/amd/Triton-XDNA https://github.com/amd/Triton-XDNA
