In this episode of the VI Shots podcast I sit down with Terry Stratoudakis who is the CEO of Wall Street FPGA. A company that specializes in the acceleration of trading and financial analytics software using LabVIEW FPGA.

This is a new industry in general for LabVIEW and specifically LabVIEW FPGA. I was skeptical at first and a little confused. Where exactly are FPGAs used here? No worries, Terry explains it all to us. By the end of the interview, I was all fired up to find other untapped industries where I could use LabVIEW FPGA.

There is a lot of information packed in this podcast episode so you might want to listen to it more than once.

PS: Terry will be at NIWeek this year giving an unrelated presentation (TS3261-The Missing Link – 8/3/11 1:00 PM – Rm: 10C). So track him down if you’re there.

    I was just reading about bitcoin mining this morning. I wonder how an FPGA implementation would match up against some of the GPU setups?

      Interesting, this is the first time I am hearing about bitcoin mining.  Going to search for a description of this algorithm; if you have a link, please share.

        A bit of searching turned up the bitcoin wikihttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_PageThere is even a forum with FPGA http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9047.0

    I was just reading about bitcoin mining this morning. I wonder how an FPGA implementation might fair against some of the GPU solutions that are currently in use…

    This was very interesting, it is a good example of “LabVIEW Everywhere”. It made me think about what other areas we could be using LabVIEW. 

    Thanks for yet another excellent podcast.
