Go up one level in this thread
You're right, at the very beginning of this thread, a lot of people gave Greg a hard time. I don't think he deserved it. I felt bad for him and I even said as much in my original response. Here's his reply: >Xilinx's current product line goes up to 1,000,000 gates. It's helpful to stay >well below that maximum for cost reasons, of course, but 150k is well within >reach. The FPGA clock rate today is above Deep Blue's ASIC clock rates then. >BTW, I wasn't intending to get into a discussion about the proposal here. I was >asking for volunteers. Now, this may be an issue of semantics, but the first 3 lines sound like a lecture to me. I have no need to be lectured by somebody who (quite clearly) doesn't know what he's talking about. And I don't think there's ANY way to justify the last two lines... -Tom P.S. You wouldn't believe what he called me in private e-mail. =)
