If the story this article tells us is true, the FPGA part(i.e. the "personality ") is optimizied by the guys at convey , which created a variety of profiles for specific application areas - and that supposed to take most of the burden of understanding of an FPGA from the programmer, and he really have to understand a high level view of that "personality".
Of course until actually using such tools, it's hard to tell. But the fact micron, a huge company which most likely is interested in big businesses ackuired convey, is a good sign to the use of such tools for the mass market and not just a bunch of highly trained experts.
- mng2 11y agoCompanies like Micron are looking to reduce their exposure to the commodity hardware business by getting more into services. This platform still looks pretty complicated to use, but Micron/Convey would probably be happy to take care of that -- and that's probably where most of the profit is.
- minthd 11y agoStill,can convey be important to the growth/diversification of micron, a ~$35 billion company, without being big and creating at least a medium change in the market ?
