In today’s world, data is under enormous strain. Due to increased cloud computing and higher rates of data creation, our current ways of data management are strained. As a result, engineers have been working diligently to provide alternative solutions- completely reimagining the way that we create hardware and FPGAs are at the forefront.

The use of FPGAs allows for more complex functionalities. More functionalities can be completed within one piece of equipment which causes engineers to achieve higher performance than was previously possible.

As FPGAs can be defined by an HDL code, one FPGA is more versatile than many other pieces of hardware like ASICs. Their functionality allows for configuring and reconfiguring for many different applications- just one FPGA playing as many roles in the application as needed.
