Reducing the Barrier to Silicon

(still in stealth-mode)

The Team

Student Interns

Collaborations

SiliconCompiler

Creating an open source modular build system for hardware ("make for silicon"). Process scaling is coming to an end and it is a social imperative that we find a new path to extend the Moore's Law exponential. The most viable option is extreme silicon specialization, which will require fast automated translation from program to silicon.

RAMP

Partnering with Microsoft, Intel, GlobalFoundries, Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, and Siemens to bring state-of-the-art microelectronic design and manufacturing to national security applications.

CHIPS Alliance

Working with Google, Intel, Western Digital, SiFive, Antmicro, and others to harnesses the energy of open source collaboration to accelerate hardware development.

ASIC Coalition

Collaborating with leading US businesses, universities and national labs to ensure continued U.S. semiconductor innovation leadership.
