I try to keep things mostly technical on this site but below you can find some more rough notes.

Neural Network Accelerators (2024)
An overview and commentary of commercial and academic AI and neuromorphic hardware. A rough comparison of ASICs, FPGAs, GPUs, and looking at compute requirements and energy consumption. I end this post with the realization that we need to take a first-principles physics approach to narrow down what future AI accelerator designs will have to look like because the market is complex and largely driven by momentum.

Dubins Paths for Waveguide Routing
What does the perfect waveguide routing look like? Dubins paths, already well known in robotics and control theory, turn out to be a simple and highly practical solution. This post notes a few useful recources and explains what the advantages of Dubins paths are compared to other waveguide interconnects that are often used.
