Tuning The FPGA For Clouds And Comms
It has been a long time since plain vanilla programmable logic circuits known as field programmable gate arrays have been available in a raw form. …

At The Next FPGA Platform event in January there were several conversations about what roles reconfigurable hardware will play in the future of deep learning. …
For any given compute engine, there is the vendor who makes the chip and therefore a lot of the money and then there are the downstream system architects, system integrators, original design manufacturers, and original equipment manufacturers who add further value to that compute engine in one form or another and make their own revenue stream from that innovation. …
If you squint your eyes, a modern FPGA looks like a programmable logic device was crossbred with the mutt of a switch ASIC and an SoC. …
If FPGAs are going to take off in the datacenter in their own right, they are going to need their own killer apps. …
Ahead of The Next FPGA Platform event that we hosted recently in San Jose, we talked to Manoj Roge, vice president of product planning and business development at Achronix, about the three waves of FPGAs that have occurred over the past three decades, and in the course of our live conversation, we got a little more insight into the addressable market for FPGAs and also talked about the fourth wave, which is just starting now. …
Keeping an eye on how the largest cloud providers choose to invest in hardware is always interesting but it does not often shed much light on how emerging workloads are driving new investments. …
Over a decade ago we would not have expected accelerators to have be commonplace in the datacenter. …
A decade or so before the GPU started storming the datacenter thanks to Nvidia’s Tesla GPU accelerators and their CUDA parallel programming environment and CPU offload model, FPGAs were starting to gain traction as accelerators in their own right. …
Intel has spent more than three decades evolving from the dominant provider of CPUs for personal computers to the dominant supplier of processors for servers in the datacenter. …
