    Aloha!
    
    Quoting "Ben A. Abderazek" <ben@s...>:
    > What is the suitable size of an FPGA device that can be used to implement a
    > RISC-like processor?.
    
    Anything from smallest possible FPGA on the market to larger-than-life Xilinx
    VirtexII or Altera Stratix. It's an impossible question to answer. You need to
    specify things like:
    
    (1) Operational and address width
    (2) Register file size.
    (2) Scalar or superscalar operation.
    (3) Issue type
    
    etc etc.
    
    You can build a very small 4 to 8-bit KCPSM-style RISC with ~1 kGates and from
    there on all the way up to MegaGate designs ala Alpha, PPC, MIPS R1xK.
    
    What's your application?

    Interfaces needed? Size needed? Memories needed?
