Honored ContributorOptical FPGAs
Hello! I am interested in optical FPGAs. Is it something like a general cover? Is it possible to implement any kind of FPGA series in it? Thank you for your answer in advance.

Honored ContributorOptical part of the FPGA is just an interface, it is like having a "normal" FPGA with oprical transciver built-in. The inovation here is that they have managed to build FPGA and optical transicever on same silicon die.
If I recall correctly, HP will be using same technology for their The Machine supercomputer.
