I see they discuss FFT in FPGA. Well, if suchdevice will be implemented maybe we could use it too.
Our FFT sizes more different, from 8k (2^13) to 128k (2^17) or even more in SETI large/current autocorr implementation.
Looks like Einstein uses longer one, 2^22.

Seems you and I both made our payments through Amazon 26 October 2012, so your number is probably close to my 3729. I wouldn't know where to look that up, but it was on the shipment notification I got last Friday morning. Being about 300 km. from Adapteva's home office I received the card in the mail yesterday. I won't be ready to do anything with it for at least a couple of weeks, though.

You'll have had an email early on with the number, I believe you can also get it from a kickstarter app, but I don't know which one.

Hm... interesting should I deal with customs too later and how much it will cost...
Board shipped!

BTW

Import VAT £40.81
interesting how "value added tax" was computed.  Shipment should be marked as "gift". From what such quite big number comparable with card manufacturing cost came ???
