GitHub is probably the most popular software repository in the world. One important feature on GitHub is the ‘pull request’: we often contribute to a piece of software by proposing changes to a piece of code. The number of pull requests is not, per se, an…

背景 在 FPGA 或者 ASIC 中，通常都需要使用 RAM，通过读口、写口或者读写口来进行访问。常见的配置有单读写口（1RW），一读一写（1R1W）等等，读口通常有 1 个周期的延时。那么，如果在同一个周期内，读口和写口访问了同一个地址，会发生什么呢？可能会想到几种情况：
读和写都失败，读出的数据未定义，数据没写进去 数据写进去了，读出的数据未定义 数据写进去了，读出了写之前的旧数据 数据写进去了，读出了同一个周期写入的新数据 下面以具体的例子来看看，实际情况是什么样子。

When optimizing software, we routinely measure the time that takes a given function or task. The typical assumption is that we get a normal distribution, and so we should therefore report the average time. I believe that this hidden assumption (normality)…

Generative artificial intelligence, and in particular ChatGPT, has taken the world by storm. Some intellectuals are proposing we create a worldwide ban on advanced AI research, using military operations if needed. Many leading researchers and pundits are…

前言作为IP vendor，ARM公司的产品受众广泛；除了为人所熟知的终端厂商之外，还有各式嵌入式用途。因此在设计核心时ARM需要兼顾各种使用场景，做到表现尽可能均衡的同时还需严控成本，ARM对微架构efficiency的执著…

拖延症拖到Gracemont都发布了，不能再拖了！ 阅读本文前，建议先看上一篇文章： XZiar：分支预测，uOP，乱序执行 Tremont是Intel在19年下半年公布的新一代atom微架构，上一代则是Goldmont/Goldmont Plus。 实际产…

Note the publish day of this article. There will be a proper one on Terascale 3 later on, don’t worry. But for now, happy April Fools Day! Prestige is everything for computer hardware manufacturers. A few percentage points may not make or break someone’s…

Open source FPGA-based NIC and platform for in-network compute - corundum/corundum

Optimizing compilers seek try to push as much of the computation as possible at compile time. In modern C++, you can declare a function as ‘constexpr’, meaning that you state explicitly that the function may be executed at compile time. The constexpr qualifier…
