Tabula, a heavily-funded FPGA start-up led by a who's-who of FPGA- and EDA-industry insiders, this morning unveiled a new FPGA architecture that challenges fundamental assumptions about RAM-configured logic devices. Tabula claims it will deliver FPGAs that in the same device can offer 1.6 GHz clock rates on critical paths, logic and memory capacity comparable to the largest new devices from Altera and Xilinx, rich SerDes, DSP, and memory resources, and yet a die size small enough to sell at a fraction of Stratix IV or Virtex 6 prices. And, despite the startling claims, the devices will use a familiar tool chain and will look to the user like traditional FPGAs.
