[sdiy] from soft to hard: IBM shows us how ..

[Jay Vaughan]

In light of the recent sdiy interest in Xilinx gear, i thought i'd 
pimp this article to the list:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-soc8/?ca=dgr-lnxw09SoCForHardware

IBM shows us how to approach the 'hardware-ization' of well-optimized 
software routines from the perspective of HDL/FPGA designers .. quite 
a thought-provoking article, I think .. as a programmer I'm very 
interested in the ways and means by which my most-optimized code can 
become 'hard', and I look forward to part 2 of this article, anyway 
.. not to mention the arrival of the odd Xilinx eval board or two .. 
;)
