A comment on Inside the Microsoft FPGA-based configurable cloud [video].
TL;DW:
- FPGAs are more power-efficient than CPUs and GPUs
- FPGAs are more flexible than ASICs
FPGAs vs CPUs:
- CPU: Sequentially apply instructions on data in place
- FPGA: In parallel, flow data through instructions in place
