You seem to think that when I put out an idea, that I am claiming that I know the answer, or that I have a degree in FPGA design. I don't. I pointed out that there are 2 obvious objections to the "it can't be done without memory" claim. The first is that FPGA boards come with SRAM and that works fine with algorithms such as FFTs, and the second is that an eval-only chip doesn't need the huge memory that a full-up chess chip uses. Since I don't have any design in mind at all, just a couple of SWAGs (which stands for "stupid wild-ass guess"), I could care less if memory is or isn't a killer problem. I'd just like to think about a fast chess engine. >This shows that you have not done one single little bit of logic design in your >entire life. And if you did, you probably got an F in it. Can you please stop with this kind of language? I'm getting tired of your abuse, name-calling, and straw-man attacks. >I think it's sad that you're clinging to this silly fact to save your entire >project here. And here I thought I was having fun brainstorming. Dang. -- g
