New FPGA Program Techniques Kick 'But'
Almost since they were first invented, the reconfigurable
computing platforms called "Field Programmable Gate
Arrays" have had a reputation: "Good idea in theory, but..."
Now, a University of Southern California computer scientist
says two advances her team will report June 4 "will kick a lot
of 'but,'" and help to bring FPGAs into the computing
mainstream.
