Isn’t the purpose of an FPGA is to run parallel processes? Parallel meaning 2 actions taking place at the same time

- dragontamer 4y agoNot necessarily. Its just that CPUs are better at sequential so you'd only really use an FPGA if you had grossly parallel plans. And GPUs are better at some set of parallel operations. So you'd only use an FPGA if you needed to do something GPUs and CPUs couldn't do, especially because of how cheap CPUs / GPUs are.
- xwa32 4y agoFPGAs can be low cost too. Another reason to use them is when you need a ton of IO, or my preferred application, real time control systems. In many cases I find it’s easier to get very precise, and predictable, timing in an FPGA.
