Xilinx measures that in "slices". In the Spartan 6 family the smallest device has 600 slices, and the largest has 23,038. I think my processor will come in under 100 slices. 06:34:17 That assumes 16 bit width and 16 elements for the data stack and the return stack; that will take 64 slices. The other 36 should be more than enough for the ALU, control, etc. 06:36:08 So you could put over 200 of them in the big device, and each (in that device) could have about 3kB of RAM. 06:45:10 --- quit: proteusguy (Read error: Operation timed out) 06:58:17 --- join: proteusguy (~proteusgu@zeppelin.proteus-tech.com) joined #forth 07:35:15 --- join: qFox (~C00K13S@5356B263.cable.casema.nl) joined #forth 07:45:29 --- join: Quartus` (~Quartus`@74.198.8.60) joined #forth 07:48:20 --- quit: dinya_ (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 08:15:32 --- join: TR2N (email@89.180.223.61) joined #forth 08:44:25 KipIngram, that sounds interesting; but if you presume being able to stack that many processors into the big device, then your primary design challenge will be designing and optimizing the comms infrastructure, rather than the processor that you're stamping into that space. 08:55:55 --- nick: gnomon_ -> gnomon 09:43:35 --- join: Maki (~Maki@dynamic-78-30-167-37.adsl.eunet.rs) joined #forth 11:22:21 --- join: forther (~forther@207.47.34.100.static.nextweb.net) joined #forth 11:22:34 hi 11:24:08 --- join: ygrek (debian-tor@gateway/tor-sasl/ygrek) joined #forth 11:56:09 --- quit: kar8nga (Remote host closed the connection) 11:59:13 --- join: ASau (~user@83.69.227.32) joined #forth 12:05:03 --- quit: probonono (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) 12:05:22 --- join: luptenschteiner (~User@unaffiliated/probonono) joined #forth 12:48:45 --- join: crc (~charlesch@71.23.210.149) joined #forth 12:51:49 --- quit: crc_ (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) 13:24:09 --- quit: Maki (Quit: Leaving) 13:57:36 --- quit: Quartus` (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) 14:00:26 --- quit: gogonkt (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) 14:03:14 --- part: forther left #forth 14:15:28 --- quit: ygrek (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) 14:22:09 --- part: metaperl left #forth 14:24:32 --- quit: qFox (Quit: Time for cookies!) 14:37:02 gnomon: Yes, certainly.
