How FPGAs work, and why you'll buy one
Yossi Kreinin argues that FPGAs are no longer just programmable gate arrays, they are becoming a mainstream programmable acceleration and I/O platform. The article explains how modern FPGAs pair a sea of LUTs and switch boxes with DSP slices, RAMs, and hard CPUs to deliver massive parallelism, deterministic timing, and surprising energy efficiency, and it includes a readable Verilog convolution example to show how this works in practice.
