We have some new, and some not so new, offerings this week. The first
out is a new member of the Merrick family. Merrick3 has 26 FPGAs and
if that's not enough we can stack these boards. Details on
http://enterpoint.co.uk/products/asic-development-high-performance-computing/merrick-3/
..

For those of you that like the high I/O availability of our
Raggedstone family we have gone and cut a new derivative of
Raggedstone2 to offer more. Lamachan2 offers 266 I/O in our simple DIL
Header format and allows you to do some really daft combinations of
interfaces and functions in a true lego like approach. We will be
showing an example this week supporting 256 ADC channels at 12bit 200
KHz sampling. Details http://enterpoint.co.uk/products/lamachan-2/ .

And finally we have pushed out our Broaddown3 concept into proper
manufacture. it's been reworked a lot since we talked about the
initial concept but we have retained the 5 Virtex-6 FPGAs as part of
it. There will be a Webpack compatible version of this board for those
of you who don't like to pay for tools. Details on
http://enterpoint.co.uk/products/broaddown-3/.

The FPGAs on this picture

look like a bad joke. IMO such an ugly photoshop work unnecessarily
sheds grim light on an otherwise interesting product...

Be a good boss and make them see some rewards around Christmas :)

Actually it's not a photoshop but cardboard Virtex, and a couple of
other cardboard semi chips, mounted on a real board and real passives.
That particular board is only for the show stand and we don't take
anything that costly with real chips that we let people can maul on
stand. We do have a real one being played with back at base 5000-6000
miles away and that being careful brought up into full functionality.

For anyone coming to SC11 the Merrick3 and Lamachan2 will be real
boards and running real FPGA designs in the display part of the stand.
I don't think we did badly building on our line last week for the
first time 3 new complex designs and bringing 2 of they fully working
in less than 3 days to the US and especially given the extreme design
cycle my team worked on under on the Merrick3 and Lamachan2
developments. 10 weeks ago Merrick3 and Lamachan2 were merely a
concept I bounced around the team meeting when we decided to show at
SC11.
