Is the 550 MH/s bitstream compatible with Icarus?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say a big NO. 550MH/s on icarus would require a 275 on what was a 190 clock device. Ngzhang already said that 200mhz was not recommended. Unless there is some other wigery going on that increases hashrate efficiency greatly without clock increases. kind regards |

But only for MY Icarus customers. Are icarus users that didnt buy directly from you excluded? If so, thats a pity. The answer is a big YES.
I probably should have specified in my previous post that Its doubtful that the bitstream will do 550MH/s on icarus, not that it wouldnt work on icarus (which you have already confirmed that it would) kind regards |

At a guess? - the other boards using (or trying to use) the Icarus bitstream?  |

So when will the new bitstream be available for Icarus?

7/17 has come and passed. I'm interested to hear about the first production run.

I'd be interested in purchasing one if/when these are ready.

please wait for that before do any optimization effort.Its only been 14 days since that announcement, I think we can hold off on the ropes and pitchforks for a bit <grins> kind regards |

No pitchforks here, I'm not upset! Just excited and interested in hearing how everything turned out. This has an application for present Icarus boards if I'm understanding what he's saying about the bitstream correctly.

So certainly no reason to be impatient ... yeah, so i don't like to withdraw any pre-order money to give me any more pressure when i focus on doing something. these days: still very busy at multiple works. 70% is school work, and i put all my spare time on lancelot project. to 3~4:00AM everyday. i work together with the software guys, now the new bitsteam is doing the optimization work. we must push it to 500-550MH/s. hardware is ready 5 days ago. a reason of delay is one of the software guy go to USA, we only have another 1 people to do the work. (not including me) a good news is he will come back at 2/8, but we want to release the bitsteam earlier. apologize for any misbehavior about didn't replay the PMs or mails. PS: accept bitsteam developer orders form now. |

Don't worry, we're just interested in keeping updated. Thanks for letting us know what is going on. Hopefully when your guy gets back from the US you'll be set! I'm glad you're not taking preorders till you are ready.

So, I may order DEV KIT now? Do I need to email to you? |

these days:
still very busy at multiple works. 70% is school work, and i put all my spare time on lancelot project. to 3~4:00AM everyday.
i work together with the software guys, now the new bitsteam is doing the optimization work. we must push it to 500-550MH/s.
hardware is ready 5 days ago.
At 250-275 Mh/s per FPGA, I presume you designed it using the "sea-of-tiny hashers" model, like bitfury did. If that's the case, good work! I wonder why not more people try to implement this obviously superior implementation (/me looks at the Cairnsmore1 devs...) |

It appears to trigger slow convergence in the place and route phases. The unrolled implementation has the similar problem, but less bad. It seems like the heuristics in the global optimization phases can't find an usable gradient which could be used to guide the optimizer. So it kind of wanders in a fog over the terrain consisting of small hills and shallow valleys. |
