Meeting Notes 2019.04.10

AHA mtg / status Wed 4/10/2019 (Jeff Setter notes)

Action items for all

• create end-of-quarter and tapeout goals
• list of what you are worried about most

Topics discussed

• Functional model
  • should be able to fairly easily run CGRA to find what happens
• Global SRAM
  • 32 banks and 8 IO channels into CGRA with constraints
  • used as a double buffer
• Memory tiles
  • planning to have double buffer with programmable address read
• virtual tapeout running (end of April)
  • pipecleaners should be running
  • in layout, ARM will exist, memory tiles are placed, etc
  • note: components do not need to be fully functional
  • validation flow with random test generation
• RTL feature freeze (end of May)
  • moving foward, focus on testing
  • design should work through validation flow
  • determine date of full freeze based on observed turnaround time in physical flow
