"SUITABILITY: The GA144 is designed to support the largest and most demanding
computing challenges that can be addressed with a modest sized die in a relatively
inexpensive and easy to use package while still using well less than 650 mW in most
practical applications. The geometry allows for generous numbers of parallel paths
and/or pipeline stages, or for complex flowgraphs in control, simulation, or DSP
applications. Clusters of nodes devoted to functions such as cryptographic
algorithms are easily placed in the large array, and the cluster needed to control
external memory and run a high level language from it is well out of the way but has
good surface area for interaction with other functions. Use it also as a universal
protoytping platform for applications destined to run on our smaller chips. "
