Extdev fpgas #463

Closed rowleya closed 2 years ago

rowleya commented 2 years ago

The main change here is to support external devices connected via the FPGAs and the addition of 2D support to vertices. The main highlights:

Allows a single device to be connected via multiple FPGAs, and different input and output FPGAs
Adds support for 2D vertices (and other dimensions technically)
Simplifies support of routing constraints on devices by having a simple method override rather than a constraint
Removes constraints that all things use anyway and all allocators allocate with anyway
Removes virtual chips, instead relying on algorithms being aware of how devices work

Depends on SpiNNakerManchester/SpiNNMachine#181
