[Hardware] Spartan3: intermediate results (sounds good)

[gmeurice at dice.ucl.ac.be]

Hello,

Sorry, I'm completely busy with something else during this week.
Nevertheless, I've got intermediate results: (they sound good)
Without any constraint about the area, it is possible to achieve an
operating frequency of 125 MHz on a XC3S2000-4fg456. (with 20000 slices and
26 bRAMs)
I'm trying other implementation options for both area and time.

From a FPGA cost point of view, the Spartan3 has the best
performance/cost ratio.
I will have a look on Virtex5 and power consumption.
