I'm curious about what volumes we're talking about here. I'm not an electrical engineer, so I don't understand when FPGAs are needed (or justify the development cost) over distributed software systems.
It's usually the latency requirements that rule-out distributed systems. The amount of total data isn't particularly crazy, it's just that it comes in very concentrated bursts.
