Buy an FPGA. Ruin your life.
I'm from Germany, and I have friends who work in the automotive industry, at Porsche and other companies. They told me, "Oh, that's just public relations." And I replied, "Aha. Can you do the same?"

KianV StealthV, my custom quad-core RV32IMA SoC written in SystemVerilog, running Linux SMP on a Digilent Genesys 2.
Four pinned render threads share the work in row blocks: fixed-point 3D transforms, depth-tested triangles and Gouraud shading, directly into the Linux framebuffer.
Six morphing shapes at around 25 FPS, alongside 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo PCM audio through ALSA.
CPU cache coherency, shared memory, framebuffer DMA and audio DMA working together under Linux.

A tribute to Stanford — running on KIANV STEALTHV.
My custom SystemVerilog SoC running Linux SMP on an FPGA. Four RV32IMA cores, Sv32 MMU and coherent L1/L2 caches. Still optimizing the L2, but already happy with the results.
Nine Stanford 3D models with up to 6,000 triangles each. Fixed-point rendering, Gouraud shading and a 16-bit Z-buffer at 320×240.
All four cores dynamically share rasterization work in 8-row tiles, while framebuffer DMA and ALSA handle video and EBM audio under Linux.

Had fun over the last weeks getting @PrismML's ternary LLMs running on cheap second-hand FPGA boards with LiteX!
Fully open source, decent (not ridiculous😅) performance, and it already helped improve the ecosystem!
Have a look, and try it yourself if you have one of the supported board😙 (Less than $100 for the cheapest one).

(More boards and recent Bonsai 2 2B, 4B, 9B models coming soon!)

KIANV StealthV — my custom quad-core RISC-V Linux SoC, written in SystemVerilog and running on FPGA.
An X-Wing rotates through a moving starfield, zooms across the screen and switches between Gouraud shading, wireframe and points.
No GPU — all 3D rendering runs on the four CPU cores. Four pinned workers handle fixed-point transforms, lighting and rasterization: 6,717 triangles at native 320×240, around 25 FPS on average.
RV32IMA, Sv32, private L1 caches, coherent shared L2, framebuffer DMA and ALSA audio running together under Linux SMP.
