Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly, english is not my native language.
In the posted link, someone got a PCIe audio card to work! Basically, a DSP chip from "ancient" times, and EMUxx. Sounds bogus
at first, bug digging into the thread it sure seems a reality. Unfortunately, the OP has 3 posts activity since 2011.
People say sound blaster whatever hi-end... for get that. I'm talking serious DSP power.
I have a studio, and doing maintenance it popped in my mind. The last few years DSP took off. Hundreds of products out there that are truly high end. I don't know the requisites for mining script vs sha-256 alga's, but I am definitely game to contribute to the community
I have one of these babies currently not used in the studio. Just sitting at home in a little quad-core PC.
Very happy to try something with it if someone is willing to point the way.
The card has 4x these in it. Total of 9,6 Gflops and 1600mhz. I don't even know if these numbers can be summed like that
400MHz SIMD Sharc Core, capable of 2.4 GFLOPS peak performance
2Mbits SRAM; 6 Mbits customer-definable ROM
High bandwidth, 32-bit external memory interface supporting glue-less interface to SDRAM, SRAM, and FLASH
Digital Audio Interface (DAI) enabling user-definable access to system peripherals including 8 serial ports (SPORTs), S/PDIF Tx/Rx, 8-channel asynchronous sample rate converter, and 4 precision clock generators.
Digital Peripheral Interface (DPI) enabling user-definable access to system peripherals including 2 SPI-compatible ports, 2 UARTs, 3 full-featured timers, and a two-wire interface compliant to the I2C standard.
34 zero-overhead DMA channels
16 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) channels
208-lead LQFP-EP and 256-ball SBGA packages
Commercial and industrial temperature ranges
Maximum core performance is reduced for LQFP package
I also have access to competing products with different architectures/chips etc. Or maybe just a silly idea?
