[SI-LIST] HANDLING HIGH-SPEED BURSTs

In a high-speed data capture application, we are looking at data incoming
rates as high as 2GSAMPS in a burst.  Even though on average the data rates
are low enough to process in a very high end FPGA (obviously desirable for
flexibility), the burst rate (up to 65536 samples at a time) is impossibly
fast.  Of course, things like "FIFO" come to mind, but I have been unable to
locate any component that operates at that rate?  Does anyone know of an
approach that does not involve spinning a custom GaAs ASIC to handle this
"bursty" problem?

I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started reading. Then I
said to 
the guy, "Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that is
traveling 
at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything
happen?" He 
said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job." -- Steven Wright
