    Subsequently, the project got a boost by the debut of Xilinx Kria System-on-Modules (SoMs), which combine “insanely cheap Zynq UltraScale+ FPGAs with a ton of DSP units and a (comparatively) massive amount of LUTs and FFs, and of particular interest, a hardened PCIe core,” enthused Barrie.

    Yes, I understand, the bippity uses mumps in order for the many lutes to flips those zupps in their pacas.

      FPGA

      Awww, I thought this was an ASIC. Slapping an FPGA on a PCIe card is decidedly less cool. Still, props for creating a usable GPU circuit description, that must have been a nightmare.

        In situation where there are affordable (for this purpose) FPGAs - more cool, not less. ASICs you have to actually order somewhere somehow to be produced.

        And one can order ASICs from that description, no?
