if i want to play around with this at home on a fpga devkit...which fpga kit should i use ?
the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P FPGA prototyping boards seem to be 9000 USD. Anything in the 1000$ range ?

fair warning: one does not "play around" with an FPGA. they are the antithesis of user friendly.
As for cheaper FPGAs, the paper notes that the bottleneck is the size of on-chip memory. So I doubt it will be easy to find cheaper model to reduce costs.
Another hidden fee would be Vivado and Vitis (tooling) licenses, which you need for most upper-end FPGAs.
