My neighbor works in the financial markets and was recently talking about FPGA based trading bots -- and how his firm doesn't do this despite the success of some firms. So when I read this, I thought you were wanting to put team money into pork belly futures and ...
The tools for programming the FPGA have been granted in the past to teams looking to do offseason projects. Your options are to program in LV or in VHDL. I would assume that IP for the hash is readily available and you'd replicate it to the brim to fill up the FPGA, wait out the compile, and then use LV or RIO drivers to load it into the FPGA on boot. You then write a small RT program to seed and harvest the FPGA registers you are interested in.
If you succeed, you can spend them on this ...
sweet ride.
