I can think of two apps that can leverage this kind of FPGA+CPU setup.<p>Heavy duty image processing:  Giga pixel images processing - probably mainly for defence related app like this:

We have 1U system that process feed ip videos in and provide video&#x2F;decoding&#x2F;transcoding service.    It has 37 Virtex Pro FPGA each with 450Mhz  PPC processor inside. It was a very fun project, make some good $ for the startup too.  Deploy a lot of them at comcast and other major cable company til some stupid VC impose their own CEO and piss off of the three MIT founders.    I think transcoding system probably still be useful for all the internet video datacenter app.    FPGA transcoding app can provide real time transcoding service for youtube to a lot resolutions to various phone screen site.<p>FaceBox, Youtube, Amazon, Netflix can probably use those device&#x2F;services.<p>Anyone else can think of any good&#x2F;interesting applications for FPGA+CPU setup?
