Сегодня стартовала кампания по сбору средств на открытый GPU c 2D/3D ускорением, на Verilog-е.
Silicon Spectrum re-implemented a graphics accelerator compatible with the #9 Ticket To Ride IV. The reason behind this was to provide a binary compatible graphics core for vertical markets: Medical Imaging, Military, Industrial, and Server products.
We were successful in our 2D/ 3D implementation, which has been used in Digital picture frames as an ASIC, Avionics equipment and other products as an FPGA.
Now we are running a kickstarter to finish the final few modes of operation with the goal of a complete, professional, open source hardware platform.
The Verilog implementation has all the original features of the Ticket to Ride IV. We have broken down a set of goals to best work out the cost for finishing and expanding on the implementation.
Over time we have parmaterized the design so that it can be optimized for a variety of projects.
The design comes with a full verilog/ systemverilog testbench and is professional quality, supporting multiple simulators and windows or linux platforms.
Если соберут:
- $200k - только 2D ускорение
- $400k - также и 3D ускорение
- $600k - отвязка от шины PCI/PCIe, поддержка AXI, Wishbone
- $800k - работа над повышением скорости работы
- $1m - поддержка универсальных шейдеров
