Fri Oct 10 02:54:12 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> decimation: both 'xilinx' and 'altera' make the bulk of their profit by renting out the right to use 'cores' (as they call them) - libraries, to a normal person
Fri Oct 10 02:50:19 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> because 'xilinx' sells, by the tonne, a large fpga with built in 'ppc' cores.
Sun Sep 28 02:52:48 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> xilinx.
Sun Sep 28 02:52:36 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> <asciilifeform> bounce: search channel logs re: at least three separate discussions of how this came to be << you know, giving terms like "xilinx" is better than an empty search entreaty. he doesn't know what to search for.
Sun Sep 28 02:29:49 UTC 2014 <assbot> NSA Approved Defense-Grade Spartan-6Q FPGA in Production for Highest Level Cryptographic Capabilities Strengthens Xilinx Secure Leadership - Aug 31, 2011
Sun Sep 28 02:29:17 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> 'xilinx' in particular brags of 'nsa certified' whatevers.
Sun Sep 28 02:17:53 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the vendors (there are exactly two worth mentioning, 'xilinx' and 'altera' - the others sell miniscule turdlets, most often with zero linux toolchain support) also play fast & loose with the word 'gate'
Sat Sep 27 03:08:25 UTC 2014 <decimation> yeah the old xilinx part
Mon Aug 25 03:31:40 UTC 2014 <decimation> the xilinx board?
Wed Aug 13 23:49:47 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> decimation: xilinx and altera both make tightly 'closed' chips, for reasons discussed in agonizing detail earlier
Wed Aug 13 23:49:16 UTC 2014 <assbot> 19 results for 'xilinx' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=xilinx
Wed Aug 13 23:49:15 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> !s xilinx
Wed Aug 13 23:41:59 UTC 2014 <RagnarDanneskjol> on the strreet, yes, but any industrial embedded stuff is still xilinx
Tue Jun 24 15:48:11 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if it's a 'xilinx' or 'altera' - you're stuck with the vendor's closed turd.
Fri Jun 20 01:54:48 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> (actually there may be. fpga/cpu combo is a dime a dozen - xilinx made ppc/fpga cores for ages. but a modern pc arch cpu is something rather else)
Fri Jun 20 01:52:09 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> but at least these were traditional fpga and one could (at least in the case of xilinx) use linux toolchain, traditional vhdl/verilog, etc
Tue Jun 17 14:24:14 UTC 2014 <pankkake> Our first larger scale immersion cooled cluster consisted of 6048 Xilinx®Spartan-6 FPGAs in 24 tanks and was built in early 2012 with the Bitcoin still below $5.
Thu Apr 24 12:15:50 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> it was also the only xilinx chip with 100% documented internals.
Fri Feb 28 04:50:25 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> it does not automatically follow that one should not buy xilinx
