>As a research computer, Enzian is designed for computer systems software research and deliberately over-engineered. Enzian has a big server-class CPU closely coupled to a large FPGA, with ample main memory and network bandwidth on both sides." Why potentially use Enzian hardware? Well, watch a few minutes of the following talk at the following time offset by Professor Timothy Roscoe of the Systems Group of the Dept. of Computer Science at ETH Zurich -- and see if the argument he makes is not a persuasive one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36myc8wQhLo&t=828s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36myc8wQhLo&t=828s Related: https://people.inf.ethz.ch/troscoe/ https://people.inf.ethz.ch/troscoe/ Related: https://enzian.systems/faq/ https://enzian.systems/faq/ >"Q. Is Enzian open-source? A. We’re releasing all of the software we write for Enzian as open source. It is our goal to also open-source as much of the FPGA doughnut as we can, including our implementation of ECI, which is needed to understand how to talk to the CPU in more interesting ways than just shared memory. We will own the board design, so it may be possible and/or a good idea to release that as well, but (as we have discovered) the hardware industry has very different ideas about what can and cannot be released."
