Configurable Processors as an Alternative to FPGAs
July 3, 2013
In this blog, we are going to explore an alternative to the traditional FPGA approach to creating a custom system.
Configurable processors can implement many compute oriented functions FPGAs can address but with some distinct advantages. I talked to Bob Beachler, vice president of marketing, operations, and system design at Stretch Inc. about their innovative approach to software configurability. This approach operates at a higher level than traditional FPGA methodologies and allows pure software engineers the capability to create custom solutions without the need to get into the details of the hardware.
