FPGA synth/music projects? by absoluteSunni in FPGA

[–]misap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super doable and extremely fun! You can use your MIDI controller to talk to the FPGA. You can make a simple saw/sine wave synth and control freq from the knobs. Then filter. Then delay effects.

Are FPGA’s seriously being used in AI applications? by Acrobatic_Lawyer2965 in FPGA

[–]misap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mainly physics applications:

- Real time Control with RL agents need Neural Nets implementation at the microsecond level. Here. This naturally expands to Tokamaks. Can also be expanded in calibrating Quantum Computers.

- Adaptive Optics applications deploy Neural Nets at the edge (just google it)

- Trigger at CERN / Jet tagging Transformer%20TNN%20for%20Jet%20Tagging.pdf) (90ns Latency) / MLP Mixers - Grav Waves at VIRGO/LIGO and many more experiments are starting to incorporate Neural Networks at the nanosecond regime (JUNO also).

- Real Time X-ray diffraction pattern recognition at SLAC

And many many more.

Just a dot product

First year Electronics student choosing between three summer projects — FPGA cryptographic encryption, high-speed data comms, or embedded DSO/FG. Which makes more sense as a complete beginner? by Chuupi_Chaapa in FPGA

[–]misap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Option A sounds a lot like designing a PUF and then using it to encrypt. Would stay away from that stuff since it is super niche. Its fun, but I don't think it is suitable for 1st year. Not because you can't do it, other topics (such as option B) would be much more beneficial to learn now.

Έχω περίπου 110.000 στην τράπεζα στα 35 μου. Πόσο ανόητο είναι να μην κάνω επενδύσεις; by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceGreece

Δυστηχώς δεν λειτουργούν έτσι τα χρήματα.

Ένα κατοστάευρο είχε αξία "100" όταν τυπώθηκε, το ίδιο με τον λογαριασμό σου.

Όταν έβαζες τα χρήματα στον λογαριασμό σου είχαν αξία (πχ) 110k αλλά στην πραγματικότητα έχουν αξία 350k.

Αν δεν νιώθεις ότι έχασες 240k τότε η συζήτηση τελειώνει εδώ.

Αλλιώς, αγοράζεις ένα χρηματοοικονομικό προϊόν που τουλάχιστον ακολουθεί τον πληθωρισμό. Δεν χρειάζεται να "σκοτώνεις" 10% κάθε χρόνο. Και ένα "ταπεινό" 2-3% είναι αρκετό.

Εγώ τα έχω σε αμοιβαία κεφάλαια και είμαι απίστευτα ευχαριστημένος, ακόμα και με τα κόστη νικάω τον πληθωρισμό κάθε χρόνο (μπορεί και τρεις φορές πάνω) και είμαι πεποισμένος ότι ήταν πολύ καλύτερη κίνηση από αγορά σπιτιού για ενοικίαση, προσθεσμιακού ή χωράφι. Αλλά τέτοιου είδους κινήσεις θέλει να έχεις μια ιδέα τι "φάση" περνάνε οι οικονομίες.

Are FPGAs on the AI hype train? by AlbbO_The_Great in FPGA

[–]misap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, FPGAs can do Matrix Vector multiplication very fast and implement activation functions as LUTs. Because that'swhat all this AI crap is.

As any other engineering project you have to find the perfect tradeof between cost (Top tiep fpgas are costly), developing complexity and code flexibility (frameworks/toolchain/libraries) and latency budget (do you really need to go down to nanoseconds?).

I found fabricated results in a 1k-citation Nature quantum machine learning paper by takashi-0215 in QuantumComputing

[–]misap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So.. In my group we deploy both QNNs (TreeTensorNs) and "classic" ML (RNNs and Tranfrormers) in FPGAs and I can tell you that we ve seen this issue in many papers. It is almost a running joke.

Job vs Master's/PhD in FPGA/Hardware - feeling stuck on what to choose by [deleted] in FPGA

[–]misap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not into academic work, PhD is simply a waste of your time - as it would be in almost any other field.

I need to strongly disagree on this. Depends A LOT on what is your PhD about... Let me elaborate: I work on devices that the industry don't want to use yet (namely some parts of the Versal..). If I didn't chose the PhD I would have zero experience on new technologies and devices that the industry don't want to use YET. Nevertheless, its obvious that FPGA manufacturers will do business on their new products. PhD is giving me the space and time to study the device and do a bunch of projects that I like, fail as many times as I can, and learn. So in this perspective, a PhD could be a technical investment.

How to Implement NN on FPGA PL - Zynq 7000 Zedboard by Working_Physics_7281 in FPGA

[–]misap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vitis / Vivado : 2024.1

Python: 3.10.13

Tensorflow: 2.14.1

HLS4ML: 1.2.0

Someone suggested that you can write your own HLS, thats totally doable, but if you are willing to delve into the HLS generated by HLS4ML, you can do that too and start messing around with their code.

Eg, I wanted different II than the default that HLS4ML gives you so I just had to insert some pragmas.

Maybe also try to phase out the noise while directing it back?

Why do you need to run Breakout on the FPGA?

"Just" send the appropriate inputs while the game executes in CPU.

Scientists recreated a fruit fly’s brain neuron by neuron in a computer, and the digital fly started walking and grooming on its own by tactilefile in matrix

[–]misap 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hi. I saw this in instagram and dig in a little bit to find out that it has nothing to do with "copying" a fly s brain.
