The stars are aligning for FPGA maker Achronix with the emergence of PCIe 5.0 and a growing set of potential customers who want to build accelerator cards with their technology on the networking roadmap. …
In addition to covering momentum in the FPGA market overall, from the first inklings that compute acceleration could be a large opportunity to recent acquisitions of the two largest FPGA device makers by Intel and AMD, we have kept an eye on FPGA startups. …
Any workload that has a complex dataflow with intricate data needs and a requirement for low latency should probably at least consider an FPGA for the job. …
While Xilinx and Intel are the dominant suppliers of discrete FPGAs and related system on chip designs that have FPGAs at their heart, they are by no means the only providers of programmable logic in the datacenter. …
If you squint your eyes, a modern FPGA looks like a programmable logic device was crossbred with the mutt of a switch ASIC and an SoC. …
Ahead of The Next FPGA Platform event that we hosted recently in San Jose, we talked to Manoj Roge, vice president of product planning and business development at Achronix, about the three waves of FPGAs that have occurred over the past three decades, and in the course of our live conversation, we got a little more insight into the addressable market for FPGAs and also talked about the fourth wave, which is just starting now. …
It is hard to take on either Intel or Nvidia in their respectively dominant CPU and GPU markets, and credit is due to AMD for taking on both companies at the same time to try to carve itself a larger slice of the datacenter pie. …
The field programmable gate array has always been a different sort of animal in the semiconductor market. …
When it comes to competition at the high end of the FPGA market, Xilinx and Altera (now part of Intel) are the two monolithic players, capturing the lions share of use cases. …
