Performance comparison of NxN matrix multiplication between field programmable gate array and general purpose processor

Era of “on the move with anyone, anytime and anywhere” has become a reality as high performance portable product such as smart phone, and up to more powerful and sophisticated devices such as laptop has become essential electronic equipment for most of people in their daily life. The level of portab...
