Cyclone3-Slide11

Giga-Multiplies/s is the theoretical maximum number of 16 by 16 multiply operations that can be done in a second if all multipliers were used at full bandwidth on the DSP device or the FPGA. Cyclone® III devices have up to 288 multipliers that operate in parallel at up to 260MHz. In practical applications, these utilization levels will not be reached or required with the DSP devices or the FPGA. What this data shows is that even low-cost FPGAs now have a great deal of DSP horsepower. Because of this, FPGAs offer benefits in applications requiring a lot of parallel multiplication operations, such as a multi-channel applications including video surveillance systems, communications systems, and other spaces. Cyclone® III devices can be used to complement DSP processing deficiencies or even replace 1 or more DSP processors entirely. The net benefit is to improve system performance, lower system cost, reduce system board space, and/lower system thermal power dissipation.
