During last weak I had some other obligations but today I finally found
time to implement this: 28 cores fit (112 instances), limited by BRAMs.
Utilisation is:
Number of Slice Registers: 13,445 out of 106,400
12%
Number of Slice LUTs: 47,953 out of 53,200
90%
Number of occupied Slices: 13,066 out of 13,300 98%
Number of RAMB36E1/FIFO36E1s: 140 out of 140 100%
On my ZedBoard, I get performance of 1855 c/s on self test - lower than 70
cores because of data transfers. I'm not able to test this on the Zed
system. I think that system reboots when I try to run self test. Connection
is closed and when I ssh again, there is no /dev/xdevcfg file and I have to
reload the bitstream.
When I try other tests on my ZedBoard it locks-up.
I think it's reasonable to stop optimising at this point. Having 6
instances/7 BRAMs per core would allow to fit 120 instances but since 112
instances draw too much power, 120 won't work properly either. But I'll try
to generate bitstreams for lower number of cores, I hope it will work for a
number larger than 70.
