I've done the same line of work in a larger-scale armv8 processor. I think there is no answer that doesn't involve sign-offs on certain things. In the situation you described, we resorted to fully randomizing everything, and then

I can comment on this. Hardware is a long and tedious process. CPU design is an extra level of difficult on top. In my field, it is routine to hire people in late 40s/50s to make CPUs. I'm in my late 20s, and viewed as a weird spe

Around 80-85% is the projected cost of Verification and Validation (pre/post - Silicon). This is what historical data shows for us (as a CPU design firm doing ARMV8)

Currently working in this company, I guarantee you Huawei is working on its own version of everything. Any tool we use is always considered as something we should aim to replace with a version of our own. A custom OS does not suprise me in

> To make the point less gender political, view this as something which happens to a same-sex couple, so that the dynamics are less obvious about sexual politics and more about either force, misinterpretation, or confusion or a mixture o

In the case of sex, it is an action that is legal(or not) depending on consent. In the example I gave earlier, the female has obtained consent from her partner. The male changes his mind half-way through but does not stop or act in any diff

"The legal verdict on whether sex is non consensual still often rests on the perspective of the alleged perpetrator rather than the experience of the victim." I'm not sure I entirely understand this quote to its fullest. It i

I feel I can talk about this! My master's thesis was computation of a neural network using FPGA + CPU. The original SNN code was in C++, my thesis implemented in in OpenCL. This was using the Altera OpenCL to FPGA implementation Essenc

So I'd say just pickup OpenCL in general, and then follow altera's best practices until you feel comftable. No link for my thesis, can send you a pdf if you want. In terms of what was needed, my kernel was the simulation inner-mos

Heya, did my undegrads as EE, changed it halfway from a 4 year MENG course to a 3 year bachelors because I was bored of the power distribution related stuff. Went on to do a masters in Advanced Microelectronics Design. I had contact with FP

Interesting to see this here. I did my masters thesis on this sdk the past September. We compared a neural network in native C to a CPU opencl implementation, and a FPGA implementation. The FPGA had about 8-10 times the kernel performance o

I don't get it. They used a metric of looking at different screens as a lack of focus tool, and yet I've just had a nice 2 hour long session of developing a script, where I kept glancing between the script and the output on 2 moni
