1. A system for allocating field-programmable gate array (FPGA) resources, comprising: a plurality of FPGAs operable to implement one or more pipeline circuits; and one or more processors operable to: determine the size of a set of data; determine an amount of time to process the set of data based at least in part on a deadline required by a regulatory organization; determine a maximum clock speed at which the plurality of FPGAs can operate base at least in part on clock speed limitations of the plurality of FPGAs and the clock speed limitations of components communicatively coupled to the plurality of FPGAs; determine, based at least on the determined size of the set of data, the determined amount of time, and the determined maximum clock speed, a number of FPGAs to allocate to process the set of data within the determined amount of time; allocate at least the determined number of the plurality of FPGAs to process the set of data; determine a predicted processing time for the set of data based at least in part on the allocated number of the plurality of FPGAs to process the set of data, the determined size of the set of data, and the determined maximum clock speed; track the actual amount of time the allocated plurality of FPGAs has spent processing the set of data; determine whether the actual processing time has exceeded the predicted processing time; determine that an error has occurred in processing the set of data by the allocated plurality of FPGAs based on the actual processing time exceeding the predicted processing time; and generate an error message associated with the processing of the set of data by the allocated FPGAs.
