nulldozer

My final year project was a hardware implementation of this. My group made an 8 core coprocessor and an OpenCL-like implementation complete with an LLVM IR to SUBLEQ translator. We actually got performance better than the proprietary NIOS II e soft processor on our image processing demo (Y colorspace conversion).

That's because hardware description languages are not programming languages. This point was constantly emphasized in my digital systems courses. You do not describe a sequence of instructions using an HDL, you describe the layout of a circuit with registers, wires, and logic blocks. You have to consider the physics of the device to avoid violating timing constraints or driving a signal from two different sources, etc.

I think you would be taken more seriously if you used the metric system.

Stop whining and come to Canada.
