Where are the FPGA Architectures for the 21st Century?
Are there any weird and wondrous technologies waiting in the wings, or can we expect only bigger, better, faster, and shinier versions of traditional FPGA fabrics?
Now, before we start, I would like to say that I'm tremendously impressed by all of the existing FPGA offerings from the various vendors. I love the teeny-tiny mixed-signal components from Silego. I think Lattice Semiconductor has carved itself an exciting niche in small form factor and ultra-low power FPGAs. Microsemi is doing some very interesting stuff regarding security and secure-boot with its SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs. And, of course, Altera and Xilinx are fielding some incredible devices that offer mind-blowing capacity and performance.
Having said all this, and acknowledging that many of today's FPGAs are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, I'm still left wanting more. I think this is due to the promises of delectation and delight offered by various companies that subsequently changed direction and/or fell by the wayside.
