I'm an FPGA/ASIC engineer that does some software as a hobby (mostly clojure, some python. C and Pascal if you go back far enough).
Although I focus more on verification these days, I've done ASIC design for about 16 years.
I'd be very interested in working with anyone on figuring out if we can make something better by leveraging hardware.
- turnip1979 10y agoWhere are you based? I'm a software guy learning about hw :)
- DigitalJack 10y agoPortland, OR, but I've been working remotely for 10 years. Virtual coffee still isn't a thing unfortunately.
- asb 10y agoHi, you might be interested in our lowRISC project which is working towards producing a fully open-source SoC implementing the RISC-V instruction set architecture. Some of the key features we are focusing on, minion cores and tagged memory http://www.lowrisc.org/docs/memo-2014-001-tagged-memory-and-minion-cores/ http://www.lowrisc.org/docs/memo-2014-001-tagged-memory-and-... I think are good examples of how we may be able to improve software through leveraging hardware. You don't have an email address in your profile, so if you want to chat more email me at asb@lowrisc.org
- pldrnt 10y agoI've been working with FPGAs for 4 years and shortly on ASICs before that, did software in a previous life (and still do), do you have something specific in mind?
- DigitalJack 10y agoNo, I personally don't. I was into reconfigurable computing for a while, sort of where I think intel is going with their combined CPU/FPGA project. Just In Time logic configuration. But I figured I would throw my offer out in case there were people thinking they could solve or enhance something with an FPGA, but didn't have the experience to get started.
