I noticed that Altera's own product page (http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/stratix-fpgas/stratix10/stx10-index.jsp http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/stratix-fpgas/stratix10/s...) specifically mentions that:
> C-based design entry using the Altera SDK for OpenCL, offering a design environment that is easy to implement on FPGAs
But it seems the release is very early, I was not able to find pricing or even packaging information. It does seem to pack quite a punch, from the performance numbers on the above page ("56 Gbps chip-to-chip/module capability for leading edge interface standards" sounds like ... a lot).
Also, that page has some super-annoying trickery that appends text when you copy and paste, to insert a link back to some Altera page. What idiocy.
