absurdfatalism·قبل 4 سنوات·discussA open-source raytraced game runs as software or as just LUTs in an FPGA, achieving up to 50x efficiency gains.The project was featured in the embedded news site CNX-Software today. https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/09/28/3d-game-fpga-50x-mor...

absurdfatalism·قبل 4 سنوات·discussIf anyone is interested in alternatives to Verilog, check out PipelineC. Great for software folks getting into hardware, helps avoid issues like blocking vs non blocking confusion, whats a register, etc. Lots of other features too.https://github.com/JulianKemmerer/PipelineC/wiki
