FPGAs aren&#x27;t all that great for throughput unless your problem is massively parallel but not memory dependent. The real benefit of an FPGA is low latency.<p>But the tooling remains sufficiently awful (and closed) that it&#x27;s not going to be accessible to average programmers any time soon. And what on earth is the security&#x2F;multitasking model of an onboard FPGA?
