As a niche product, this is typically used in small batches in areas where high computing power and performance are required: video processing;high performance computing;network acceleration;testing and measurement;video processing in embedded systems;military, space and aircraft construction. Let's consider some points in more detail. Production of control and measuring equipment One of the most successful areas of application is the production of control and measuring equipment. Information gathered from sensors must be processed as accurately and clearly as possible. We can therefore know exactly what the delay will be between receiving a signal from any accurate sensor and processing, obtaining results from the FPGA. Interface converter It is most convenient to use an FPGA when it comes to a large number of not quite standard interfaces. With an FPGA, you can implement any digital interface at a much higher frequency than with a microcontroller. The processing and switching speeds are faster in FPGAs, since everything is done in parallel. This guarantees both fast operation and response time. Digital signal processing A signal from an antenna, for example, is pre-filtered in the analog part (matches with the antenna in the analog path), then digitized by an analog digital converter, and the reports are sent to the FPGA, where digital signal processing (Fourier transform, various digital filters and so on.) and logic processing (e.g. demodulation) begin.). After that, the received signal can be analyzed: evaluate its characteristics, look at the signal-to-noise ratio, catch events or output to a digital-to-analog converter and play it like music. High-speed Ethernet interfaces (network processing of traffic packets) This area uses FPGA to ensure lossless operation and 100% load. When we consider the generation, for example, the FPGA is one of the few devices that can provide 100% precisely defined load With various software tools, you can generate traffic programmatically and achieve 100% load, for example, on a 100 megabit link. FPGAs use transceivers to process high-speed interfaces. These are special blocks. These blocks can make a parallel interface out of a serial interface, and then the FPGA can process it.This is where these special hardware transceivers are used. Because they are made using a different technology, they work faster. They have two interfaces, one serial, one parallel. Special accelerators These are separate boards inserted into computers to reduce calculation load and handle specific tasks associated with large projects. FPGAs are alternatives to GPUs with graphics accelerators in this area. There are some areas where FPGAs can help reduce power consumption. In other words, abstract GPUs perform the same task faster, but consume more energy. Despite its slower performance, the FPGA consumes so much less power that the performance to power consumption ratio is ultimately more profitable. In addition, there are unique tasks that are not well suited to GPU architectures. Architecture of an FPGA allows for almost infinite parallelization. It's not just about the number of cores. In this case, there are a lot of elements that are all capable of working simultaneously.When you don't need the processing power of a core, but just need to add two numbers. For example, if you need to add a million pairs of numbers simultaneously, then you can use an FPGA to do this in one cycle. It won't work on a GPU. Video and Image Processing with FPGA As a result of their structure, FPGAs are used for real-time image processing because several operations can be performed simultaneously. In a smart camera with an integrated FPGA, the FPGA will process most of the media while the sensor streams data packets. In this case, the camera provides a stream of processed output, not a series of images. FPGAs allow you to transcode 8K video in real time, without delay. In areas such as video processing and machine learning, FPGAs can provide extreme hardware acceleration. For example, Blackmagic Design is known to use Xilinx FPGA during development. They make the top 6k Stream Cameras,
