We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "FPGA device",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PCB package promises more first-time success from
Zuken, which we summarised at the time by saying "PCB design package includes many new features for schematic, library and PCB design, tighter integration with FPGA design tools and the option of an alternative schematic front end".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release FPGA suits demanding computing from
Altera Europe: "The FP compiler enables a Stratix II FPGA to deliver in excess of 20 sustained double precision GFLOPS for fast Fourier transform (FFT) or matrix math applications".
In November 2007, we covered the news from RF Engines
concerning its Vector Rotation/Translation IP core
- take a look at IP core cuts signal processing down to size
which says: "Core provides subset of Cordic algorithm and uses a proprietary technique to more efficiently exploit the appropriate FPGA resources".
Take a look also at the news release from Zuken, Software partnership aids FPGA simulation,
as well as ASIC prototyping board boasts biggest FPGA from Synplicity,
and DSP tools receive speed boost from Xilinx.
