Interesting, they claim a 5x power efficiency for FPGAs over GPUs in Monte Carlo Black-Scholes simulation. http://postimg.org/image/6o52lcgir/ http://postimg.o

I wonder if Amazon will start hosting FPGA boosted compute instances anytime soon...
- aylons 12y agoAt Amazon scale, most of the time they could use an FPGA, they would be better served by an ASIC. The only exception I can think of would be if they dynamically implemented different algorithms in a FPGA in a just-in-time model. Or, at least, in a regular basis.
- adamnemecek 12y agoHe's talking about FPGAs for AWS. ASICs would not make sense for that.
