What are you using FPGAs for?

Catwell

I rarely use FPGAs. I mostly have stuck in other embedded development environments during my career. But, how are you using FPGAs these days?

    I am working on a design implementing a computationally-intensive image processing algorithm, which has to run real-time at up to 60 frames per second.  Such computation requires a large array of CPU cores, which is more costly and power-intensive than a custom FPGA solution.  They tend to excel at tasks where there is a fixed set of computations to be performed, and are able to achieve a high throughput because the operations can be performed in parallel across the logic fabric in the chip.  Image processing, telecommunications, and aerospace are areas which are using the larger FPGA devices these days.
