hi anakha,

I know that the cost per die size in a FPGA is much higher than if compared to an ASIC design, but I was really focusing only on the performance aspect. I was considering non usual application where the multicore ability of the NIOSII would make difference, and there are no commercial options available.

Thanks a lot for reply.
