Topic: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator - page 69. (Read 73507 times)

Where is the product page?  I think you might be confusing this product with something else.

Phil, I think you are losing sight of the forest for the trees.  He clearly states in the first post that there wouldn't be any stats, benchmarks, claims, photos, or videos until the final product is done.  Only then will he publish the relevant info and take pre-orders.  When asked for an approximate ship date he said pre-orders would open in mid to late June with shipments a few weeks after that.  Like any new venture this is surely subject to delays.  Personally I think its refreshing to see a company not take orders until they have an actual product  with proven performance, as opposed to board plans with what the hardware should be able to accomplish on paper.

That's not the acorn, BCU1525

No money has changed hands?  If the products page is accurate, as much as $3.2 Million may have already "changed hands."  I merited Phiipma's post because 1) I am very interested in the product and 2) I am very interested in NOT being ripped off.  Probably sounds like everyone else here, or at least I hope.  

Where are the posts from people who bought up all of the mineority GPUs and where are the blogs reporting performance of these enhanced pieces of equipment?  My understanding is that Mineority had a supply of GPU rigs which quickly sold out.  Well then, there should be videos all over the place and reports about what is unique about the equipment.

I want to see this project move on to be a complete success but based on my experience I just have to see more before I commit several thousand dollars to anything.  Yes, there are links to credible companies.  Yes, there are real faces in new videos which is great.  There are even photos of key team members apparently taken in some sort of Xilnix tech hall of fame/awards room.  

Maybe a video with Vosk Coin which would include actual visual performance verification would push me over the edge and order a few.  For now, the videos are of people I've known for just a few weeks.  Comparatively, there are people in this scene I feel like I've known my whole life even though I've only been following them for around a year.

And... I can tell you I did buy something because of all this:  Xilnix stock.  No brainer even if this FPGA craze turns out to be bunk (which I doubt... but still have reservations)... I mean just look at the technicals, AI development, and other markets emerging... perfect time to buy their stock.

After a scam, suspicion arise regarding the same kind of product, that's rather logical.

This is far different than the dwarf miner thread.  No money has changed hands, no corny videos, no dubious claims.

Seems like the Acron M.2 FPGA is in his hand in this post:

Legendary members who post on the "dwarf miner" FPGA thread (scam inside) don't want to see another FPGA scam on the forum. They are therefore suspicious.

If you read the discord, you'd read that they are behind on this because of the BCU1525 launch/sales. They will catch up.

This is a weird reply, you are coming in here like you have been wronged and they owe you something. I don't get it.

I too would like to know more about this.  Sounds like a great project!

I know projects always take longer than expected. Please give us an update.

Thank you!

You could have just kindly asked for an update.  Not sure why someone gave you merit for that post.

This thread is 26 days old.
Zero proof it works.
No demos
No videos
No screenshots.

I simply ask the following proof of concept.

What can you show us?




see below you mention pre orders mid june or late june



where is the video?



I am reading this now


read  discord

  I still don't see a product

I don't see  a way to order

I don't see the boost it gives.

I do see you missed your dates  of mid June to take a preorder  and you are about to miss  the late June you mentioned.

Looks like a cool project David.

Please answer if you can.

1. I have 2 free M.2 slots on my mobo "Asus z270a prime" will both slots work?
2. How many GPUs can 1 device help? If you have 2 on a single mobo does it help with straight gains? or just help an additional x cards?
3. Im currently HiveOS and been using many Linux Distros, will this be supported in terms of a how to get it working on linux?
4. My current Setup i have 13 x RX 570 on a single Asus z270a prime with 2 free m.2 slots do you expect to see hash gains on all cards or just "x" amount? What would be your ideal setup in theory (if you can apply it to my setup  i.e run 1 in my setup or 2)? Even if the gains are low but the power draw is significantly reduced would it be reduced on all cards? All cards are at PCIE GEN2

I totally understand it all needs to be tested etc... In just trying to understand if 1-2 cards were implemented how do cards interact.... is there a finite limit in terms of number of cards etc.

Cheers

Excited to throw this on my Ryzen!

IF render token proves to be super popular (and profitable) I imagine someone will produce motherboard with a chipset to handle it.  A threadripper 2 motherboard might work well for 6 GPUs, possibly 8 if the motherboard was designed specifically for it.

Great keep us posted.

That would be nice. Epyc with 8x pcie 16x slots wired at 8x and a couple of M2 slots. A perfect motherboard for future GPU compute tasks like rendertoken.

Dang. Would been nice though!
So with these Acorns, we are limited to 2-3 16x PCIe GPUs per system (rig), for the most part.

Anyone has idea if Asus B250 will work?  I checked with Asus and the sent me a link to the instruction manual
I am wondering if the 1x can be switched to gen2 in mining mode?

dont think i would like more than 8 full size slots, just gets too long to manage.

i have an onda b250 d8p v1. 8 full size 16x slots (2.5 spacing) and can set slot 0 to pcie x8 mode, so use a pcie x8 to m2 adapter, and use two acorns for 7 cards. so its a fairly good setup. although m2 would of been better than msata for a storage interface.

g4400 on it now but ill toss an i3 or i5 in it. has 8 gigs ddr4 ram. hope it will be enough as it has only one sodimm slot.
