ASICs only make sense if you have high volume. PCI-e takes a lot of resources/space. The sweet spot for FPGA-CPU hybrid chips are embedded devices that are latency sensitive. For example, time-of-flight sensors and specialty cameras.
- dkersten 6y agoI guess to overcome the reconfiguration latency others have mentioned, the use case would be systems that configure their custom instructions once on boot and then the software just sees a cpu as normal, just with these custom instructions. Ie not intended for reconfiguration on context switch.
