From DSPs in FPGAs to overall trends in the FPGA world

Came across an interesting discussion on a LinkedIn group regarding first, DSPs in FPGAs, followed by observations on trends for future FPGAs.
Highlights:

  • How to accelerate DSP applications in FPGAs so that ASIC implementations will fall behind
  • Custom blocks in FPGAs and how they are positioned to capture more designs
  • Motivations of FPGA makers for putting certain architectural features in future devices

One poster mentioned that FPGA makers are not so keen on promoting embedded blocks in FPGAs because doing so devalues the programmable side of the technology--the FPGA fabric.
