Thoughts From a Programmer

By now, I’ve been using Bluespec, specifically Bluespec Classic/Haskell for a few years in my spare time(since 2022).

First and foremost, I’m a Christian, a follower of Christ.

Intro To eventually design a 3D GPU, we must learn about 3D GPU micro-architecture.

The Mission I got into computers when I was 7.

A month ago, Greg Kroah-Hartman accepted a small patch I worked with my co-worker on into his usb tree!

Innovation has fundamentally changed in US tech culture after the 2000s.

Why I’m Leaving PowerPC (For Now) – But I Will Return to Conquer It!

Often times when simulating digital circuits, you wonder why a signal changed during a certain cycle.

This Sunday, I was trying to delve deeper into group theory and stumbled upon non-euclidean geometries.

Nearly a couple years ago in summer 2022, I set out, by God’s grace, to write the waveform viewer I’d always wanted.

In the POWER Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), the Machine State Register’s Hypervisor bit (MSR_HV) and the most significant bit of the Effective Address (EA_0) play crucial roles in address translation: When MSR_HV == 1: If EA_0 == 0, the Hypervisor Of…

I’ve started forking out $20/mo for Chat GPT-4, which has helped me solved some obscure problems, such as identifying which registers can hold function call variables in the POWER ISA C-ABI specification - information that would take several minutes at le…

I’ve been using Bluespec Classic/Haskell on and off.

There’s an SBIR I’d like to apply to, but it’d be helpful to have a team when proposing.

Extremely Eager, Eager, and Lazy Programming Languages Most hardware description languages, in a sense, are extremely eager.

After the whole Rust Trademark Dispute, which seemed to carry notable political overtones, I am simply not interested in a language that makes it difficult to describe what I’m working on without running afoul of violating the language trademarks or brand.

I really need a solid hardware description language, and bluespec has some issues that make me want to consider Clash.

Disclaimer I should also tell you up front is that there is a REAL learning curve to get comfortable with Bluespec.

My Foray Into Bluespec In 2017, a senior Phd student in the Synergy Accelerator Lab at Georgia Tech designed a machine learning accelerator engine in BSV - probably because they taught(perhaps still do) BSV as part of the undergrad curriculum at a particu…

How can we find all rational points on an elliptic curve?

My Thoughts on Programming Languages Posted on Jul 3, 2021 In this post, I compare some languages I’ve worked with based on features that are important to me, then at the end, I decide my favorite language.

Recently, I’ve found myself making plans and choosing the necessary parts in order to soup-up my old iMac for Christmas break.
