Face detection is easily done in software using a soft-core processor. Some attempts at hardware versions have been described by researchers -- the most recent work I know is by Prof. Jonathan Rose, which improves earlier work by Prof. Ryan Kastner.
Converting a matlab algorithm to FPGA can be...
I'm not familiar with the "load flow analysis" problem, or the calculations required to make it work. This will be crucial in answering your question. Generally, some excellent approaches exist on FPGAs for generating random numbers at high data rates. If the load flow calculation is simple...
At $49, the BeMicro CV is the least expensive FPGA board that I know offered from a major source (Arrow Electronics).
You can also find several low-cost boards on eBay. Personally I've experienced bad quality control from such sources (chances of a dud are fairly high).
Can I ask your intended usage of this multi-port memory?
One of my students has just written a generic multi-port memory in Verilog for FPGAs. It synthesizes efficiently to Altera RAM blocks, and should also work well for other FPGAs. We are releasing it under an open source license.
We also...
I realize your query is a bit old, but if you are still looking for a soft-core vector processor, I know of three options:
VESPA from University of Toronto
VIPERS from University of British Columbia
VectorBlox MXP a commercial product
