<projectgus> RaYmAn: wow, that looks complex
<projectgus> be interesting to see how the OS support holds up
<projectgus> he only heterogenous processor support in linux i've ever heard of was an academic experiment
<projectgus> although it looks like the hardware support for caching will be sound
<RaYmAn> afaik initially it only supports either-or mode
<RaYmAn> e.g. either a15 or a7
<projectgus> i wonder how much RAM the board will have and how much it will cost
<projectgus> RaYmAn: ah, so you boot into one or the other. That makes sense at least initially.
<RaYmAn> well, no
<RaYmAn> basically, you can switch over all processes to the other cpu set
<projectgus> ah ok
abesis2 has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<projectgus> i guess that gives you a lot of the benefits without a lot of the complex scheduling and cache issues
<RaYmAn> indeed
<projectgus> well, with less of the complex issues :)
<RaYmAn> in a dev board like this, it might actually make sense to run all 8 cores at once though - if nothing else, then use the a7 cores to offload specific tasks
<RaYmAn> in phones or tablets with this chipset, it makes very little sense ;)
<projectgus> yeah, well in a dev board it doesn't make much sense to bother with it at all. but obviously Samsung aren't developing for that :)
<RaYmAn> the previous arndale is 249$, so hopefully it'll be lose to that price
<projectgus> i suppose it makes less sense to have all 8 on for power at all, if the A15s have 3.5DMIPS/MHz, the A7s are 1.9DMIPS/MHz
<projectgus> and the A15s will probably be clocked higher
<projectgus> plus memory bandwidth & cache contention

<RaYmAn> I regret not backing that one, heh. If they had been more clear on what you were actually getting, I would have.
<RaYmAn> (the actual board is imo much better than the premise they sold it on =P)
<L84Supper> xilinx hasn't posted official pricing yet for the zynq
<L84Supper> yeah, they needed a bit of marketing help
<Undertasker> Atmel is selling combinations of ARM processors and FPGA's since many years, but with little success

<RaYmAn> Undertasker: well, the fpga actually has a function in parallela =P but yeah, it can't have that many uses, other than a fun devboard
<Undertasker> Atmel even released tools for sw/hw co-simulation, but nobody seems to be interested
<L84Supper> the ZYNQ has been popular http://www.zedboard.org/
<RaYmAn> zedboard is fairly expensive though, isn't it?
<L84Supper> ~$300 IIRC
<Undertasker> As you said, a fun devboard
<RaYmAn> 395$
<Undertasker> Never saw anything like this in an actual product
<RaYmAn> compared to paralella at 99$ (ok, probably a bit more once it starts selling)
<Undertasker> Too many toys on the market.
<RaYmAn> There can never be too many toys :D
<Undertasker> What would you use it for? Bitcoin mining?
* RaYmAn shrugs
<RaYmAn> since when does having an actual usage for something become a requirement for toys? :D
<Undertasker> Maybe interesting for video processing
<Undertasker> 99$ isn't much for an fpga board
hg_5 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<RaYmAn> especially one with a 16-core co-processor
<Undertasker> I could do my own weather simulation with that
<Undertasker> Does it come with a holodeck?
<RaYmAn> I don't think they've shipped any yet, so it might! :P
<Undertasker> Remarkably, that it doesn't have an Arduino compatible header
<Undertasker> Everybody seems to think that he must be compatible with Arduino shields lately
<RaYmAn> it makes sense in some classes of products
* lejonet is getting a parallella
<lejonet> and I concur with RaYmAn, when did a realistic/actual usage scenario become a requirement for toys? xD
