IN THE FACES OF EVERYONE SCREAMING JUST BECAUSE IT IS IN FPGA IT IS NOT REAL! IN THEIR FACES! HA! IT PROVES POSITIVE THAT VAMPIRE IS A REAL ACCELERATOR, WITH REAL CPU CHIPSET, WITH REAL 68K, WITH REAL EVERYTHING AND NOT EMULATOR! NOT EMULATOR! NOT EMULATOR! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
HAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
AHAHAHAHAH
VAMPIRE IS NOT AN EMULATOR! VAMPIRE IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT AN EMULATOR!! VAMPIRE IS REAL! IT'S CPU REAL! IT'S APOLLO CORE IS REAL AND NOT EMULATOR!! HA! HA! HA!erm...excuse me! Got carried away! I was just erm...tired of all of those trolls and haters!

| In the industry, an FPGA accelerator is a SISC architecture (single instruction set code) used to create complex operations and avoid code fetches in algorithms too complicated for code caches to benefit. It has little to do with what Gunnar is doing.

| It's not the FPGA itself, it's how you use it. They have been common in network equipment for quite some time and are now finding their way to other use cases where software has traditionally been used. Nothing amazing about that, it's been expected. Must be at leasr 15 years ago that Jens Schönfeld predicted that FPGA systems was the future for retro computing, and Minimig arrived in 2009, right? I currently have 5 FPGA Amiga systems, as well as a few FPGA+ARM systems at work aimed at more sophisticated network development. And cards like these... EXTERNAL LINK

| A Vampire cluster would be interesting... VampWulf, ApolloWulf or BeoVamp? :) Has anyone ever actually built an AmiWulf cluster (Linux or AOS), with Amigas? Guess we'd need AmiSLURM then... ;p

| I had for a little while beowolf cluster running on Linux/m68k systems, yes, three Amiga systems and one mac quadra. Also, a long time ago, at the university computer club we had Plan9 cluster running on, amongst others, NeXTStation 040 systems.

| The more interesting would be to integrate the Apollo/SAGA thing into a modern PC mainbard based on this new Intel technology. So the thing could run Amiga-OS without software emulation (UAE) besides Windows, Linux, Mac-OS, etc. Clustering makes no sense with Amiga software.

| Wait two years, and there will be intel x86 with FPGA integrated
