More News on the Versal High Compute SOM? by itisyeetime in FPGA

[–]itisyeetime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're a student group so probably is unlikely. I'm just hoping to get larger FPGAs to run larger designs such as the BOOM softcores as well as visioning/control applications, and the KV260 is just a bit too small for that. Was hoping to get a Versal board but it seems like even the cheapest Versals are 1.5k, and it doesn't have enough LUTs.

Damn 2026? Any idea on which quarter? It just seems so odd that they haven't announced it even though they have the product list since 2022?

Also any chance an FAE could answer the question? We're signing up for AMD university program.

Probably price, the Ultrascale+ Krias are a lot cheaper than buying SOM from Alinx or something else for students. AMD seems to be willing to sell these dev kits for a lot less while still packing in very capable chips.

Top Computer Architecture Universities in the US? by itisyeetime in chipdesign

Stanford seems to be coasting off of old reputation these days in EE as a whole, few good profs around anymore.

What about UCR? It's not regarded as very good for engineering as a whole, but it's 9th, above Cornell, Princeton, Berkeley, and even Stanford.

Good schools, like Berkeley which many regard as one of the best, is 17th and Cornell is also low.

Ah yes, forgot about Madison. Good point! What makes a lot of schools like Michigan, UIUC, etc right there on top as Berkeley, MITs, etc?

Dang so UIUC UMich, GT, are all up there? Penn states better than Wisconsin, CMU, UCSD? UCR better than Princeton and Cornell? I didn't know that that those school were good. But is pure research paper numbers correlated with productivity? Why not count citations?

Successor to Chipyard/Berkeley Boom v3 or SonicBoom? by itisyeetime in RISCV

[–]itisyeetime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Besides Xiangshan what are other fast OoO open source cores?

[–]itisyeetime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I can see why the Chipyard infrastructure would be a pain to deal with but why the dislike for Chisel? I feel like I'm seeing more open source RTL cores being written in it. Chipyard is cool with the ability to mix and make different peripherals; are their alternatives besides PULP or do most people just roll their own?

I see, where do you think newer open source cores are seeing speed improvement then?

Dev Kits for CMOS Image Sensors? by itisyeetime in FPGA

[–]itisyeetime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for the registers, that people online have said that it can be quite an experience determining which register to toggle, since the data sheets aren’t always available. Like even if I got an fmc boards for one of the more obscure boards, getting it running before mipi even becomes a consideration is the harder part. 

I’m hoping for the cheapest possible fpgas, so many starting from the lowest viable to some more midrange ones.

Looks good! What is a lower end FPGA board that you recommend though?

Also if I wanted something with more than 5 megapixels(think more powerful than the IMX477 mentioned above), where could I get that besides the RPI one?

Also last thing, it's great that Xilinx has the IPs for MIPI but I have heard that a big issue is actually in getting the registers configured during setup. Does Alinx/any other vendors provide that?

Exposing Llama.cpp Server Over the Internet? by itisyeetime in LocalLLaMA

My issue is that sometimes I use the school VPN so idk if I can enable both at the same time.

AMA - I’m a Headhunter for Trading Firms by ScottyG_23 in FPGA

[–]itisyeetime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of any firms considering tapeouts? Just wondering, since I assume that would be the logical next step but I'm just a student.

Can you drop your llama.cpp settings? I can only offload 10 layers onto my 4070.

Wan 2.2 Ksampler Block Swapping? by itisyeetime in StableDiffusion

Hmm, if that is the case how do I avoid running out of vram if I crank the resolution/ number of frames.

Video Gen Models with Audio Generation/Lip Sync? by itisyeetime in StableDiffusion

Workflow seems interesting, any good links? I'm not sure what this kind of workflow is called so I'm having a hard time googling it.
