[casper] QDR on ROACH vs ROACH2

2013-02-05 Thread David MacMahon
When I place a QDR yellow block in a ROACH model, the "data out" port is 36 bits wide. In a ROACH2 model, the QDR "data out" port is 72 bits wide. The "data in" port seems to double in expected width as well on ROACH2 as compared to ROACH. Why the dramatic interface change for ROACH2? Are th

I'm pretty sure they're twice as wide to keep up with the increased processing throughput possible with the bigger FPGA. On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 3:10 PM, David MacMahon wrote: > When I place a QDR yellow block in a ROACH model, the "data out" port is 36 > bits wide. In a ROACH2 model, the QDR "d

Confirmed! twice as many chips, each twice as wide and twice as deep. Yay for bigger and better! iBOB: 2x 36-bit SRAM x 18Mb ROACH-1: 2 x 18-bit QDR x 36Mb (or 72Mb, depending on what Mo's populated) ROACH-2: 4 x 36-bit QDR x 72Mb (or 144Mb, depending on what Mo's populating) Jason On 06 Feb 2
