I admire Vivado's tenacity. It's a shame it errors out when a design can't be feasibly implemented. It should switch to a larger device and issue a CRITICAL WARNING with a digikey link. #AlwaysShipTheBits

Tomorrow at @ICCAD, Albert Magyar will be presenting our work on Golden Gate: the new optimizing #firrtl compiler included in FireSim 1.7.0. With Golden Gate, we went from fitting 4 to 6 large @boom_cpu cores on a single @awscloud EC2 f1.2xlarge instance. Go check it out!
