All you see is 8 server racks with colored network cables, switches and power supplies. The TPU ASICs themselves make up just a tiny part of this datacenter, you also have the printed circuit boards, cooling fins, 8x48 metal boxes, power a

See my other posts on this page. You want FPGA's with cheap SERDES links that support PCIe Gen 2 at 5 Ghz. The best fit is Lattice ECP5-5G but that's $5 per link. The MPF300 is $10 per 12,5 Gbps link on the discounted developmentb

Both. The FPGA can interconnect the 16 RPi4s at 40 Gbps and also interconnect the 16 1G Ethernet at 16 Gbps, even interconnect the 16 HDMI, MPI and GPIO, depending on the FPGA. The FPGA can add 256 GB DDR3 and lots of other IO's like S

I suggest using the 16 x 12,5 Gbps serdes links of the MPF300 Polarfire FPGA ($159 if you desolder one from a development board) at 5 Gbps speeds to interconnect 16 RPi4. You have 64 ARM cores and 300 softcores on the FPGA with 264 Gbps th

It has: 1 Gbit Ethernet over RGMII 4 Gbit PCIe Gen 2 shared by 2 USB 3.0 (so 1x 4 gbps max or 2 x 2 Gbps shared) Total: 5 Gbits, no margin to spare

not these USB 3.0 ports. Connected with shared 4 Gbps, they only run at 4/5th, 1/2 or less of the full 5 Gbps speed.

Only maximum 4 Gbps shared by 1G ethernet, PCIe 2 and 2x USB 3.0? Thats even less speed than 2 harddisks.

You buy a new board every year for $113 to extend the license. My point remains, its by far the most powerful FPGA for $113 and good for beginners. Just a happy user, not affiliated with Microchip/Microsemi
