You make it sound like this is a big publication I worked weeks on. :) It's not. It's a toy project I wrote Saturday.

As far as "publishing" goes: I sent a tweet about it in the hopes someone might find it interesting. And now it's trending on Hacker News! Woohoo! ^_^

The link is just a deep link into my SVN repo, directly to the README file.

PicoRV32 (https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32) and ORCA (https://github.com/VectorBlox/orca) are two RISC-V implementations that nicely fit in ~2000 iCE40 LUTs. UCB-BAR V-Scale (https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale) fits in ~4000 iCE40 LUTs.

There is no 4K die. The 4K chips are using 8K dies, the lattice software limits the number of usable LUTs to 4K. IceStorm will give you access to all 8K LUTs in the device.

indeed. thanks for pointing this out. I have now fixed that typo.
