What I'd assume is that in software you'd be able to define your program and configure it for work.  Seems like this would find a very nice home in research applications.<br><br>This isn't entirely new.  National Instruments has had FPGA on many of their devices for some time.  You can program the FPGA using LabVIEW code.  <a href="http://www.ni.com/fpga/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ni.com/fpga/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2007 9:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xilinx, Altera showing off FPGA coprocessors at IDF]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/23/xilinx-altera-showing-off-fpga-coprocessors-at-idf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/23/xilinx-altera-showing-off-fpga-coprocessors-at-idf/</guid><description><![CDATA["hasn't benefited from a good deal of buzz just yet" ???<br><br>FPGA's are everywhere and have been around for over 20 years.  You don't seem to know what you're talking about.

You could boot a Quad processor system on a single or multi-core X86 or X86-64 processor and have 3 other FPGAs plugged into the other three CPU slots.  There are lots of possibilities for a setup like this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jimmy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2007 12:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Xilinx, Altera showing off FPGA coprocessors at IDF]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/23/xilinx-altera-showing-off-fpga-coprocessors-at-idf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/23/xilinx-altera-showing-off-fpga-coprocessors-at-idf/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually last I heard the Intel solution was going to be PCI-express based whilst the AMD system would have a socket and connect via hyper-transport.
