Just had an amazing service experience from @CORSAIR! One of my RAM sticks HW faulted last night. Took it out, running off only 1 stick.

12 hours later, Corsair is shipping me a replacement set in advance, so that I have 0 downtime while I go thru the warranty process!

@jaycaspiankang You quote "Why Are Learning and Teaching Mathematics So Difficult?", whose conclusions I and II largely agree with the Mathematician's Lament.

A compromise may be to replace at least one course (e.g Algebra II) with actual math. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of instructors.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@jaycaspiankang It's a commonly-held belief among mathematicians that public education in the US does not teach ANY math at all, period.

As others have recommended, read A Mathematician's Lament: https://t.co/sr43Tdav1q
Note the last two pages, which describe traditional "math" curriculum.

Arithmetic circuits were once the craft of human experts, and are now designed by AI in NVIDIA GPUs. H100 chips have nearly 13,000 AI designed circuits! How is this possible? Blog https://t.co/PpKrAmV8vc + a thread 🧵👇

@matthewvenn @meyannnik If you're interested @meyannik, I can give you 332,972,640 8-bit adders, each of which has further fanout-decoupling and Ling factorization variants. So probably around 10^10 total architectures.

That's probably too many to fit on mpw7, but it's a lot more options to pick from!

My adder (and more) logical synthesis library [ https://t.co/7uQtwZoRog ] has finally had its documentation updated for version 1.0!

https://t.co/7s7s6U7GTO

I will spend the next few days revising the "theory" sections and posting about them individually.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@wes_kao If you have issues with your management, you should certainly discuss them. If the issues persist, you can communicate that further.

But if the issues don't resolve and you feel the need to intervene, might you not as well just quit on the spot and go work somewhere better?

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@wes_kao Don't get me wrong, I 100% agree with your points on effective communication.

But why do your manager's job for them when the chronic labor shortage is this bad, and you'd need to work 16-hour days for 20 years to finish just your current task?

starting the livestream now with some mellow tunes! https://t.co/Q4avHaQ21b

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili Soon! I need to get it done by Friday for a paper.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili Oh, fair point.

The answer is that I noticed that, put it on my to-do list, and promptly forgot (:

Let me push that towards the top, and update all my scripts. Because yes, there's a huge difference between SS and TT!

A Google colab notebook that does synthesis and place-and-route of adders using OpenLane!
https://t.co/D1v8frQet9

Define your own adder structure, take it through the OpenLane flow, view the resulting GDS, and compare your specs!

Credit goes to @proppy for the template I used!

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili Agreed, though there is still a LOT of room to improve just from the perspective of EDA tooling, that I hope to help with.

Just looking at this spreadsheet, https://t.co/AaugBBHR2u, all 3 performance metrics (area, power, timing) can easily improve by 20% with some easy changes.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili I am currently waiting on a few more tweaks, but tomorrow I will make one more update to the notebook, locking in the versions of OpenLane and OpenROAD. I'll tweet when I do so.

With the versions locked in place we should be able to avoid any such issues in the future.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili I updated the version at https://t.co/x5AmyQbfvN

The issue is in the "Run OpenLane" cell. The command has now become "!flow.tcl -design han_carlson -override_env RUN_CVC=0,QUIT_ON_MISMATCHES=0". The renaming of that QUIT_ON_MISMATCHES is what caused the issue.

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili You can follow the discussion here: https://t.co/KNbCzwmxbi

[Teodor-Dumitru Ene @td_ene]

@ma_nili Looking at getting that working for you! Will update you along the way.
