The notorious power wall has significantly limited the scaling for general-purpose processors. To address this issue, various accelerators, such as GPUs and FPGAs, emerged to achieve better performance and energy-efficiency. Between these two programmable accelerators, a natural question arises: which applications are better suited for FPGAs, which for GPUs, and why?
