I was just wondering... why is this group so quiet? With lots of interesting news like: Microsoft Extends FPGA Reach From Bing To Deep Learning - http://www.theplatform.net/2015/08/27/microsoft-extends-fpga-reach-from-bing-to-deep-learning/ China's FPGA Company - http://www.electronicsweekly.com/mannerisms/fpga/chinas-fpga-company-2015-09/ AMD patent filing hints at FPGA plans in the pipeline - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/11/amd_patent_filing_hints_at_fpga_plans_in_the_pipeline/ I would have expected at least a tiny bit of chatter...

I seriously doubt that will be happening. There are a lot of financial and patent barriers. I can't currently read any of your links, but it could be interesting if China did get into the FPGA market. But do you think they will market much in the US? I expect they will be pushed as alternatives to the big name FPGAs for use in many Chinese products which are more and more designed in China. There aren't many Chinese chips with much complexity that are used in other parts of the world. It can be very hard to get much info that is clear. Microsoft has their hands in lots of things. That doesn't mean they will bring it to fruition. -- Rick

So, if I'm going to pass a Turing test does this mean that I need to get offended easily? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

I'm offended. Or maybe I'm simulating. Hmm. How to tell? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com
