It's unclear to me what the end result is. Did you build real hardware or is it simulated somehow? If it's hardware, what kind and how did you make it?

- antognini 1y agoBased on the code in the repo it looks like they designed the chip in verilog and then ran it in a simulator. But if they have the verilog code in principle they could send it off to a fab and get real hardware back.
- UncleOxidant 1y agoNext step would be to try it out in an FPGA.
- jacquesm 1y agoVerilog spec by the looks of it. So you should be able to make it work on an FPGA or if you happen to have a chip fab in your garage you might want to make your own silicon ;) I'd go the FPGA route.
- zhainya 1y agoI feel like I missed a whole section somewhere. "Built a toy TPU". What does that mean? I have no idea what was actually "built" here.
- evxxan 1y agoBy "toy TPU", we simulated forward pass + backprop on a minimal tpu-like accelerator.
- evxxan 1y agoall in simulation :)
