Yup, thanks for the comment. I think FPGA has interesting potential for sequencing (and we need more sequencing compute), I'm not sure what's ahead for the simulation machines.

FPGA has potential for simulation too from what I know, but I honestly don't know enough about them to comment intelligently about them. I expect most people will use them via an intermediate abstraction layer, as from what I know they can be tough to program for.
