OT "adaptive computing"

Cary,

An engineer who works with FPGA's and DSP's told me that Xilinx has a system where the FPGA can be programmed on the fly from a tiny non-volatile memory on the board. I assume that if a device needs a progression of different processing personalities, each stage can be loaded from memory and the FPGA can complete that step, and then be reprogrammed for the next task.

I think Altera devices have some capability like that also.

I don't think Altera and Xilinx will be left out of this "adaptive computing" paradigm. Actually, I don't know that it is fundamentally different from their current products.

This person said the loading of the pattern takes milliseconds. My guess is that is fast enough for cell phone and GPS applications mentioned in the article.
