Create A Particle Dynamics Simulator With Your FPGA

Today´s article presents a very detailed project of a Cornell student who wanted to play with Pyro Sand Game. He did not want his laptop to overheat due to high power consumption, the fan to go crazy or the screen to freeze up once a lot of particles were on screen. To solve this he…

Use Your FPGA To Build A Password Cracker!

Here we have a project developed by a German guy who wanted to get a 100 EUR device that could do 10 million key guesses per second. The main point of this design is to use multiple crypt cores in order to reduce the time needed to crack a UNIX Crypt. A modified DES…

How To Implement The Old Oberon System On A Modern FPGA

In today´s article we bring you an experiment carried out by Niklaus Wirth, a master of the Computer Science World. But this article goes beyond itself. It is much more than that because it is the introduction chapter for a thorough guide on how to implement the Oberon system, developed in the late 80´s on…

Use You FPGA To Bring The BBC Back To Life!

BBC is the short name for the Acorn BBC Micro, which was very popular in the mid-to-late 80s. There were several versions of this computer but the one that has been revived in this project is the BBC B. The core of this device was the famous 6502 processor. This article thoroughly defines each part…
