I thought I had an application for the GA144 once, but when push came to 
shove I couldn't verify that it had enough performance to implement an 
SDRAM controller.  Green Arrays won't provide certain information 
relating to the timing of the I/O and internode comms so that I could do 
a paper analysis.  Their suggestion was to build the design and see if 
it worked, lol.  That completely ignores the various issues of timing in 
hardware.

I also considered using it in a product I am supplying to a major 
networking company.  But again, I couldn't verify the I/O would be fast 
enough to implement a 33 MHz serial port similar to SPI.  This 
particular app could be done mostly on a conventional MCU, but there are 
two hardware interfaces that would exceed the capabilities of a 100 MHz 
CPU.  As it turns out the processors in the GA144 aren't really that 
much faster, just a lot more of them.  Since the handling of an I/O port 
can't be spread over multiple processors, this design wasn't any more 
suitable for the GA144 than an ARM CM3.  Since neither will do the job 
this design will continue to use an FPGA.
