I work for a small trading firm. Our trading platform is on FPGA. I use SystemVerilog for both RTL and testbenches. I edit in Sublime with a SystemVerilog plugin. I use Sublime's build system to call Modelsim/Questa…
Indeed. Deathbird Stories was my intro to Ellison; it completely blew my 20 year old mind.
Yeah. The trick is getting your foot in the door. Equal amounts of expertise and luck are helpful. Most jobs you'll find online or through a recruiter aren't going to be the $300k+ jobs. I found a job opening at an…
I'm an FPGA dev making more than 300k in NYC working for a trading firm.
Although this is misplaced, I'll reply anyway. There isn't more buzz around the Stratix 10 MX because it's a phantom chip. Intel's December press release clearly states that the chips are available but you can not buy…
That quote is misleading. He's talking about perceived price. The actual price of an equity is the price at which the execution occurs. And for every execution there are two sides, hence the zero sum game is the only…
They mention that the F1 instance is using Xilinx's UltraScale+ FPGAs and that they have approx. 6800 DSP slices. You can see that they must be targeting the VU9P from the product selection guide (pdf) here:…
It's a very expensive, very customizable appliance. Hence Amazon's AWS F1 instance and Nimbix cloud.
Altera/Intel and Xilinx have FPGAs coming out this year with HBM which should make them competitive with existing GPU memory bandwidth.
Can you explain your perspective on open source ideology as it applies to hardware design? I see people complain every so often about lack of open source tools for FPGAs and CPLDs and it doesn't make sense to me. Most…
