You can get 900 MHz designs on FPGAs, but yes you need very good engineers and patience to get that.

Yes SRAM is limited but that's more of a ram-process limitation than a limitation of FPGA

Maybe spell checking for prompt text box would save a few bucks

Isn't this solving a subproblem of the overall issue of uncompressed tool call polluting context?

Furthermore, this could be compressed even further with a dynamic legend of every UUID in the context. So UUID@Bravo and UUID@Delta would be the actual symbols in the context but dynamically replaced when calling tools.

How much does your data privacy cost?

Regarding AVX: could rust be compiled with different symbols that target different x64 instruction sets, then at runtime choose the symbol set that is the more performant for that architecture?

> First Revision - Completed with minimal human contribution (auto-accept mode) > > Second Revision - Planned with increased human-in-the-loop involvement

At least 'minimal human contribution' in the first revision. So scan read it as it revised the book.

I do find it amusing to think that people might just ask an AI to summarize the book instead of actually reading it. Maybe even 'review' it as well.

The future will have authenticity in short supply

> Compilers are not yet rewriting data structures and algorithms based on microarchitecture.

Afaik mojo allows for this with the autotuning capability and metaprogramming

What data type/precision? How much parallelism versus iterative? Is this fully in fabric or part of a SoC? Easy to get mired in many details.

HW design has so many degrees of freedom which makes it fun but challenging.

What specific topics are you trying to address with this?

Newton Raphson could be used to calculate a reciprocal. (in a bit width larger than 8). If starting from a good reciprocal approximation, convergence to bit accurate reciprocal should not take many iterations. Then multiply the reciprocal with the numerator to perform the divide

I worked on an automotive FMCW LiDAR that didn't quite make it to market. Cool technology but it was difficult to scale the cost down, which is pretty important for automotive. Margins are very low in that market

Does anyone have a good summary of the Buck(2) track?

It's also, if not more so, a factor of transistor voltage. 1.1V transistors are less prone to upset events than 0.7V. It's possible (assumption, here) that some 3+ volt circuits are still used for critical components of the system
