University of Edinburgh crafts energy efficient FPGA supercomputer {Engadget}

Mar 23rd 2007 7:53AM Of course it's energy efficient, FPGAs are so bloody hard to program there's no point in turning the thing on. I really hope they've put a /lot/ of effort into the software, Cray XD1s have FPGAs attached to opterons in a rather nice topology, however it's still extraordinarily akward to code for them.
