There are tectonic changes happening in the world of FPGAs. A lot has changed since their introduction in the 80’s. Back then they were mostly used to implement state machines or glue logic. Subsequently they grew more complex with the addition of high speed IOs, eRAM, DSPs, other processors and other IP. More recently though FPGAs have come into the limelight because of their ability to help solve today’s data processing challenges. These include enhancing data center throughput and accelerating machine learning applications.

One person who has witnessed many of these changes is Manoj Roge, Achronix Vice President of Strategic Product Planning. During his career he has worked at both Xilinx and Intel (Altera) in strategic positions. I had the pleasure of talking with him about the changing landscape for FPGAs recently.
