New Trends in FPGA Technology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most recent advancements and transformative trends shaping the field of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It seeks to move beyond the traditional domain of digital logic acceleration to explore FPGAs' role in emerging paradigms such as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The goal is to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application, highlighting how FPGAs are evolving to meet the escalating demands for performance, energy efficiency, and programmability in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

The scope encompasses original research papers, review articles, and case studies that detail the latest breakthroughs in FPGA architecture, design methodologies, and application-specific optimizations. It welcomes contributions that demonstrate how FPGAs are being adapted to new workloads, including next-generation neural networks, quantum-inspired computing, high-speed data processing, and security acceleration. This Special Issue will also explore the impact of novel fabrication technologies, such as 3D stacking and advanced packaging, on FPGA performance and power consumption. Ultimately, it aims to present a forward-looking perspective on the future of FPGA technology and its position as a key enabler for the next wave of technological innovation.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
