AMD-Xilinx recently open-sourced their LLVM-based Nanotube compiler that can be used for some nifty networking purposes on FPGAs...

"As part of the Nanotube compiler repository there is an example codebase developed by Facebook/Meta. This example is dubbed "Katran" and serves as aa high performance layer 4 network load balancer running on Xilinx FPGAs. This example for showcasing the Nanotube compiler is eBPF GPLv2-licensed code."
Damn, that's amazing.

I was thinking of an ultra-optimised JSON parser since...well duh, but a load balancer is just as good. And it's GPL V2, too, the people doing this really know what they're doing.

Maybe when they start helping prjxray I'll start paying attention.

Until then, there's better choices for FPGAs.
