Subject: Re: EskBlowFish with RAM results
Hi Yuri,
I am sorry that I am somewhat late to comment on this...

Great! Can you post the code, please?

Why so many LUTs?

This is a consequence of the above...
So we'd fit only 3 EksBlowfish cores into that Spartan-6 chip, resulting
in worse than CPU performance. This shouldn't be so.

This makes more sense, but still I'd expect only 2 of these used. Why 4?
Are you keeping the initial constants in separate BlockRAMs? Or maybe P?
If so, the initial constants should be uploaded by the host, and P
should be in registers.
Anyhow, even at 4 16+2 Kbit BlockRAMs used per EksBlowfish, we could fit
29 cores in that chip. So we're clearly LUT-bound now, in terms of the
number of cores we can fit. Please look into reducing the LUT count,
which I think should be possible to reduce by a factor of 10 or more.
I really don't understand why you have so many LUTs used.
Thanks,
Alexander
