In the late nineties I had the rare opportunity to work with a very exotic “FPGA hypercomputer” (yes, the marketing makes me cringe) that basically consisted of an array of FPGAs that instantiated logic at the hardware level and dynamically readjusted if required. It was a prototype built by now-defunct Starbridge Systems and designed, amongst others, by Fagin of Intel microprocessor fame.
