Hi Guys,

is there any chance to help Rosetta with FPGA technology?

That would be really interesting for me.
Does anybody have any infos about that?

Thanks a lot
Andreas

There are 2 "historical" languages (Verilog and VHDL) and a recent language (OpenCL), but Rosetta doesn't support any of these....

thanks for your answer. why doesn´t rosetta support that?
because it wouldn´t run good enough on fpga or havn´t they
just not evaluated it?

i would have access to LabVIEW FPGA and the hardware as well.
does anybody else have ideas where we could sucessfully use the FPGA.
if anybody is interesed in a project, maybe we could work together.

thanks
Andreas

I believe the main reasons are that it is difficult supporting multiple platforms, and that the scale of computing resources available with supporting Windows & Linux far exceeds the scale of supporting FPGA and OpenCL.

There are also limits on what specific platforms do well. There have been numerous discussions on GPU. But GPU is better suited to some types of compute than others.
