Hi Sebastián, Unfortunately, the issue is exactly as reported: The design is too big to fit on the device. In your case, you are running out of soft logic -- that is, you're running out of the FPGA's general purpose "SLICE" logic. It's possible your design just has too much going on, and you'll

Hello all I'm currently working on ROACH1, trying to do a 4-element correlator roughly based on the Wideband Pocket Correlator tutorial available in the Casper Website (https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/tutorials/roach/tut_corr.html), with some minor tweaks.

Certainly there are lots of questions surrounding just what squeezed radiation (existence only proven in 1985) can do, so a good approach is to build kit to generate and detect it and then use it in experiments. Almost all work has been in the optical, so trying this at micro/mm-wave is

I forgot to say that the power estimates are for a 600MHz clock. They’re also just for the FFT, and don’t include static power or any other logic. At 300MHz, the power for the FFT should be half these numbers. Regards, Ross > On Feb 24, 2022, at 8:18 AM, Ross Martin wrote: > > Hi Jack, >

Dear All, Applications where background thermal radiation is low and object return reflections are weak may benefit from quantum radar. So I was curious, who if any, might be exploiting this for radioastronomy? Using a beam of entangled photons (squeezed light) to illuminate has advantage

Hi Jack, Yes, the Xilinx SSR FFT is good, but there are some caveats. In my testing, its performance degrades severely if the FFT size is greater than 8192 or if the SSR is greater than 8. It’s very good on both DSP and BRAM utilization, but it’s mediocre on LUT usage and power consumption.
