Observations from Uppsala

This summer we took a road trip around in Värmland and Dalsland.

A few weeks ago, I attended small event organized by Tasking.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the form of large language models (LLMs) has made quite incredible strides in coding capabilities in the past year.

It seems everyone is using AI to help with their work – primarily coding but apparently also other things.

Last week, I gave a keynote at the RAPIDO workshop, part of the HiPEAC 2026 conference taking place in Kraków, Poland.

Last week I went to Kraków in Poland for the HiPEAC conference.

I have now posted my first blog post in the Cadence Community.

Last week I had the joy of taking a tour of the Electrum Lab in Kista, Sweden.

I have been a semi-regular attendee at the Design Automation Conference going back to 2008 or so, and over the years I have slowly drifted towards EDA (Electronics Design Automation).

DVCon Europe 2025 took place on October 14 and 15, with the SystemC Evolution Day on the 16th.

The DVCon Europe conference dinner was back this year, and I was responsible for a little bit of entertainment.

After a rather long break, we finally had another Computer and System Architecture Unraveled meetup.

I recently got access to a sparkling new demo machine for VLAB.

The 62nd Design Automation Conference (DAC 62) took place in San Francisco, California, USA, from June 22 to 25, 2025.

I just fixed the strangest problem with my home office setup.

In late May, the VLAB Works part of ASTC was acquired by Cadence, and as a result I am finally working in EDA for real.

I am coming back to my project of testing AI models, local and in the cloud, on a few coding problems that seem surprisingly difficult.

I reprised my gig from last year and taught the course Platform-Spanning Systems at Uppsala university during the first quarter of 2025.

Last week, I visited the Embedded World (2025).
