I wonder how competitive GPU's would be with FPGA's on this type of problem.
FPGA's have the advantage that the circuit architecture can be designed specifically for the algorithm but as far as I know they have much lower gate density and clock speeds compared to top of the line GPU's.
In the case of bitcoin mining as far as I know GPU's passed the hat directly to ASIC's. I never heard that FPGA's were competitive for that.
