The hardware in old Chinese cloud accelerator cards never fails to impress me.

If you go on Chinese ebay (idlefish) you can get a Xilinix UltraScale FPGA for ~$50 USD.

For perspective, the same raw chip is currently ~$2,100 on Mouser.

Just published by HuggingFace: The ultrascale playbook. How large model training is optimized on GPU clusters.

A lot of this is normally gospel and experience, so it's good to have everything explained in one place.

The sad day has come. Last Orders. Today I commemorate the untimely end of the finest FPGA device family there ever was, AMD/Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ HBM, 2019-2024.

Look at that, 10 PRs, all without the need for any LLM garbage,

It's just that easy,

#FPGA Noodling on an AMD-Xilinx Spartan UltraScale+ SU200P design. This is a new "low(er) cost" FPGA with 64x 32KB UltraRAM blocks which hopefully will make practical manycore RISC-V FPGA overlay designs much more affordable to enthusiasts / students.

At the AMD booth I said my favorite FPGA *was* the Virtex UltraScale+ HBM2 XCVU37P … until it was Killed by AI.

Uh, yeah. That’s true.

I’m looking forward to the SU200P, with 64 32 KB UltraRAMs, apt for a 64+ core cache coherent RISC-V multiprocessor.

#FPGA Please excuse this commercial. But Digilent (no affiliation) are having a sale on their FPGA boards today.

Arty A7-35T was a great $99 product, nine years ago.

It’s time to move on to an Artix UltraScale+ offering at a similar price point…

#FPGA #RISCV Reinventing the wheel, I wrote a frugal 32b/64b RISC-V compliant div/rem, early out, nonrestoring radix-2 divider.
* 32b: 640 MHz, 155 LUTs, 14-36 cycles
* 64b: 520 MHz, 289 LUTs, 22-68 cycles
(UltraScale+ -1 fabric)
Per Jan's Razor, planning to share one div/rem unit per 2-4 PEs.

#FPGA Amazon AWS F1 machine instances, with XCVU9P FPGAs, are retired as of today, Dec. 20, 2025.

Instead use F2 instances with XCVU47P UltraScale+ HBM FPGAs (which I urged Amazon to support in 2019).
aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance...

One FPGA F2 is ~$2/hour, ~$0.62 spot. f2.48XL with 8, is 8x that.

This is one of the boards I am working with. It is the AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZCU208. I mainly look at the RF no FPGA programing for me. It has 8 14-bit 5GSPS ADCs, 8 14-bit 10GSPS DACs. This post is to see if any fellow RF or electronic nerds are out there!
