I work at a video outfit. Currently I am peeved with them, exercised all my options and am thinking of leaving. They had better come up with something real sweet... The major FPGA houses all are concentrating on DSP applications. The newer parts are great for that purpose. Recently did a design that used 1.4gig 32-bit adds per sec. Part is for prototyping, is reusable (Altera 10K50) and costs under $500, that part of the design only needed about 20% of the chip, so a 10K10 might get you well over a billion 32-bit adds/second. They are just about cheap enough to consider throwing temporarily into a product. But the best thing about doing DSPs in FPGAs is that you get to build a system that really shows you what your finished video will look like. Video, being sometimes tough to simulate well. -- Carl
