For context, "emulation" here is not referring to emulation for video game systems, but for SoC Designers. It could potentially be used for that though if the cost wasn't likely very prohibitive like most FPGAs (and frankly, the VP1902 price tag is likely to be enormous).
- cogman10 3y agoAnd to be clear, this is a xilinks product. I didn't realize they were purchased by AMD, but they are a old FPGA manufacturer. This isn't "FPGA in your CPU" sort of thing but rather just a generational improvement on existing products.
- tiffanyg 3y agoYup, here's info through Xilinx website (without some of the confusion possible in the current comparatively early stages after acquisition): https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/acap/versal-premium/vp1902.html https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/acap/versal-... Seems there's still a relative dearth of 3rd party articles, but probably will see at least some more fairly quickly (w/ lifting of embargo etc.).
- iamflimflam1 3y agoI did my final year project using a Xilinx FPGA back around 1992. We put some image processing algorithms for fingerprint processing onto it for adaptive thresholding and line thinning. There was a lecturer who was very into hardware software co-design but had got quite disillusioned with it as general purpose CPUs just kept getting faster and faster.
