XC2VP125

Its my understanding that Xilinx paper launched the 2vp125 in response to a large Altera part. A customer never materialized with a big enough order to justify fabbing the monster, but the tools did (and perhaps still do) support the part. The paper you are refering to probably just produced a bitstream for the part. If you'll notice, the website you refer to does not list any quantities for the 2vp125 as they do for the 100 part.

Thanks,

That more or less tallies with what I thought. I think the people who wrote the paper I'm alluding to wanted to slightly obscure the fact that they had only taken it so far as simulation, and not actually implemented it in hardware. And their plan would have worked perfectly had it not been for their targeting of a non-existent part :-)

Cheers,
