No one because FPGAs are 10-20x less dense than ASICs actually designed for purpose. The tooling is also complete shit. Signed someone that did (part of) their PhD on this topic.

But I can afford my already purchased drawer full of cheap FPGAs for experiments.
I guess I am too risk adverse to bet $10,000 on an ASIC run (having no experience doing that and no desire to go that route).
If I can demonstrate a proof-of-concept in a reproducible research way, others can then advance to the ASIC level.
This is just a hobbyist experiment looking for other hobbyists who can afford a cheap FPGA and have some free time and interest.
