Couldn't you implement a bitnet kernel, and use that as a co-processor to a PC? Or is the I/O bandwidth so low that it won't be worth it?

Since I don't have a board with PCIe port the fastest I could get is 100MBit ethernet, i think. Or rather use the Microchip board which has a hard RISC-V quad core processor on it connected via an AXI-Bus with the FPGA fabric. The CPU itself run at only 625MHz, so there is huge potential to speed up some fancy computation
