title: How much is the performance of modern FPGA relative to CPU and absolutly in (GFlops/GIops)?
body: <p>How much is the performance of modern FPGA relative to CPU, absolutly in (GFlops/GIops) and what is the cost of one billion integer operations per second on the FPGA?
  And in which tasks now beneficial to use FPGA?
  I only found it:
