CM1 alternative uses...?

[Cranky4u]

I am looking at broadening the use of my CM1s and am looking for suggestions which already have software / bitstreams available. I am thinking along the lines of;
1. MATLAB co-processor support
2. Rendering support
3. Simulation support (plastic flow extraction models, heat transfer modelling, etc...)
4. Cryptographic support (password recovery, strength analysis)


Ideally, any ideas that can turn a few bucks....so as to de-risk my investments.

Thanks for the leads in advance.

I think the main problem is to have a working bitstream for a given task. If you look at the CM1 development, the bitstream was (is?) the biggest issue.

yep...looking for bitsreams for xilinx 150s as per CM1 boards...combining this for some hardware specific acceleration to increase commercial rendering times from days to a few hours then offer that as a service.
