how did we use FPGA
- huge effort to do data IO
- huge effort to package application
- huge effort to validate design
- hardware language
what has changed
- high level languages
- faster and multi-layer emulators
- well defined IOs
how should we see FPGA in 2018
- programmable device with high flexibility
what is an ideal workflow
compare with GPU. what is similar and what is different
- They all are accelerators, but in CPU and GPU you use instructions, in FPGA you write your instructions.
- FPGA is after all not sequancial
what is the future going to look like
Challenges
- write high level language but think about hardware
cover the essential parts of the article.
