Hero999 said:What would be good is if you could buy PCs with volitile volatile FPGAs on their CPUs so programs could make their own super fast insrtuctions.
And you'd need an army of algorithm-oriented hardware engineers to design the soft circuits. THey only really do that for military-type things where it's needed. No regular person needs that much parallel processing or feed through.Nigel Goodwin said:I think the internal instructions are already super fast, it's the limitations outside the CPU that are the main bottleneck.
-Have you seen the cost of an FPGA?David James said:I'm struggling to understand the sort of application for which an FPGA is used whereas I can see lots of uses for microcontrollers - this probably reflects my background as a software rather than a hardware person.
Can someone give me an example of the sort of thing FPGAs are used for, please? Are there any feasible uses in a "hobbyist" environment?
