There are 2 Board that coud be interesting to start with : http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/EK-V7-VC707-G.htm <http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/EK-V7-VC707-G.htm> http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/AES-K7DSP-325T-G.htm The First is based on a Virtex 7 (XC7VX485T-2FFG1761C) 2800 DSP Slice / 1030 BRAM / 303 600 6 port lut and 607 200 Flip-Flop / 2 PCI express line 2
The Second is based on a Kintex 7 (XC7K325T-2FFG900C) 840 DSP Slice / 445 BRAM / 203 800 6 port lut and 407 600 Flip-Flop / 1 PCI express line 2.1 Good luck 2013/4/25 Timothy Normand Miller <[email protected]> > Possibly in the summer, I'm going to invest in some really big FPGA to > help with this GPU work.
