INTEL/VMWARE CROSSROADS 3D-FPGA ACADEMIC RESEARCH CENTER

The Intel/VMware Crossroads 3D-FPGA Academic Research Center is jointly supported by Intel and VMware. The center is committed to public and free dissemination of its research outcome... Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been undergoing rapid and dramatic changes fueled by their expanding use in datacenter computing. Rather than serving as a compromise or alternative to ASICs, FPGA ‘programmable logic' is emerging as a third paradigm of compute that stands apart from traditional hardware vs. software archetypes... What should be the future role of FPGAs as a central function in datacenter servers?
