I am talking of really large but generic cells, much bigger then the current DSP slices. This way FPGA will be a programmable dataflow machine with all the heavy lifting done by the ASIC ALU slices. And it is much more flexible than hoarding the very specific ASIC blocks.
Any problem I was solving on GPUs recently would have been implemented 100x times more efficiently on such an architecture.
- dogma1138 11y agolarge and generic cells seem to be exactly what the current GPU architectures bring, and where did the 100x times number came from?
- sklogic 11y agoThe current GPUs have to deal with a cumbersome, often unfit memory hierarchy. What an FPGA-like model would bring is a much more flexible way to configure the local memories layout. Source - experience of getting over 100x difference in performance wity memory opimisations alone.
