Instead, one would ideally like to have a special chip that only +does that one task, thereby using up less power and probably being more performant at that task. +However, until recently, designing a special chip for each application is expensive. This is where +FPGAs come in, they are reprogrammable hardware, and allow it's circuit to be configured after it +has left the factory. + ** The Need to Design Hardware Accelerators Application-specific hardware accelerators are increasingly being needed in industries. -- cgit
