Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit that can be reconfigured by a customer after manufacturing.

The core of an FPGA is an array of programmable logic blocks. These logic blocks can be rewired to perform tasks as simple as OR and AND gates, or more complex ones such as combinational functions.

FPGAs are extremely efficient at handling large I/O-bound workloads, as the logic blocks can be configured to handle tasks in parallel.
