In 2016, long-time industry rivals [[Xilinx]] (now part of [[AMD]]) and [[Altera]] (now part of [[Intel]]) were the FPGA market leaders.<ref>{{cite web |first=Paul |last=Dillien |work=EETimes | url=http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?doc_id=1331443 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20190105015123/http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?doc_id=1331443 |title=And the Winner of Best FPGA of 2016 is... |date=March 6, 2017 |access-date=September 7, 2017 |archive-date=January 5, 2019 }}</ref> At that time, they controlled nearly 90 percent of the market.

Both Xilinx (now AMD) and Altera (now Intel) provide [[proprietary software|proprietary]] [[electronic design automation]] software for [[Windows]] and [[Linux]] ([[Xilinx ISE|ISE]]/[[Vivado]] and [[Intel Quartus Prime|Quartus]]) which enables engineers to [[Hardware design|design]], analyze, [[simulate]], and [[Logic synthesis|synthesize]] ([[compile]]) their designs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ise-design-suite.html|title=Xilinx ISE Design Suite|website=www.xilinx.com|access-date=2018-12-01}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/fpga-design/quartus-prime/overview.html|title=FPGA Design Software - Intel Quartus Prime|website=Intel|language=en|access-date=2018-12-01}}</ref>
