This is interesting:

I wonder what the power dissipation for such a beast is?
Sure, each FPU one creates within the programmable logic
may run at only ~100-200 MHz (typical numbers for
high-end programmable logic), but if one has a thousand
of them, that's a *lot* of watts, especially since a
typical programmable gate draws an order of magnitude
more power than fixed logic. Still, if they've got a
working prototype, they must have handled that problem.
