So...how large IS the full Apollo core?
BTW - Most of this info is completely new to me, so I appreciate that after much pain, we are now discussing it.
IF the plan is to continue to enhance the Vampire project with bigger, faster FPGAs, with more features implemented from this core (as well as features yet unimplemented), THEN, of course you have my full support.
AND, I might even be will to excuse some of the sky-high hyperbole.
