Transformable computers

The FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) was introduced in 1986 and was created for designers requiring a solution that bridged the gap between PALs (Programmable Array Logic) and ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Exploitation of the FPGA's reconfigurable capabilities by independent researchers throughout the world has shown that computationally intensive software algorithms can be transposed directly into hardware design for extreme performance gain. This continuing research has spawned numerous developments in the arena of high performance supercomputing. We believe this research proves that transformable computing is the next frontier in computer science. These achievements as featured represent the building blocks of a new order of computers.<<ETX>>
