Very cool to learn where my Linux file manager GUI app came from. One point that is light on details in the wiki was what exactly their monetization plan was or if they even had one at all? It sounds like they wanted to integrate business&#

As much as I prefer to do everything in a text editor and use open-source EDA tools/linters/language servers, Xilinx's Vivado deserves major credit from me for its block editor, schematic view, and implementation view. For co

The short answer to your first question (in my opinion) is no, ASICs and FPGAs are not really equivalent (generally) in the context of how they are used in different applications. ASICs are baked-in circuits; once you make them, they are fi

Hey thanks for the reply! I'm assuming your the first author on the paper; if so, the signup button on the Normal Computing website is not working at the moment (at least for me, even with ad blocker turned off).

I didn't realize they included details about the hardware. Lie you said these just look like analog computers, compute in memory, analog arrays, which have also made a resurgence with deep leaning.

I know they mainly present results on deep learning/neural network training and optimization, but I wonder how easy it would be to use the same optimization framework for other classes of hard or large optimization problems. I was also

Funnily enough, Matlab offers a high-level synthesis (HLS) tool to lower Matlab code and Simulink models to Verilog [1]. I have not personally used it, but the last I heard, it works well enough for those who need it and Matlab puts in the

This brings flashbacks of standing next to part bins in circuit labs with a multimeter in hand, trying to match components. Unfortunately, the TAs and course instructors did not emphasize your point, and the measured part values and thus th

Hypergraphs are awesome, and I wish they got more attention. They actually make intuitive sense in contexts like circuits and other hardware design problems. However, the last time I checked, all the Python and Rust Hypergraph libraries did

One big related point not discussed in the actual software used for semiconductor design at all levels (note: I'm biased toward this point since I work in this area on a day-to-day basis)(also this is most related to computing devices

I also want to note that some people are looking at using ML/DL to generate placement solutions, even though DREAMPlace is still a key recent work in this area that at the core uses analytical placement, although cleverly using deep le

Based on the other comments, they are correct in that when doing annealing you usually want to accept some moves that do lead to regression that might not improve the regression to escape early local minimums in your objective. I abused the
