one of my favorite lines from a giant postmortem was "there was a point when IC's stopped believing in the overall schedule" because I could've narrowed when that switch flipped for me down to a week, possibly a day

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i am honestly perplexed why you'd be especially doubtful. not that cl is some panacea, but it does not seem that hard to improve on verilog, and starting from a language with excellent macro facilities seems a good plan? HDL's are writing a description of a circuit, what particular strengths of lisp would lend well to it? in the context of "improve on verilog" my first step would be to check out system verilog, SVTB, OVM, you know the actual improvements to the language, tooling, ecosystem based on practitioner feedback over the past few decades? like making named argument lists into bundles was one of those whack-whole-class-of-bug improvements at the time. but sure, lisp with it's quick preference for infinite recursion, makes sense too

Cybernetic Vermin posted:yeah, it might not be a good idea even medium-term, but to just knock out a macro assembler for initial experiments it actually sounds like a pretty sane workflow, and uses excel features largely as intended. you might be able to find worse in GPU land. there's only like ~5 global teams that build them, it's all incestuous tribal knowledge bouncing around and plenty of "its our driver talking to our FW talking to our HW" where you can really hide some ghastly edge cases with "dont do that"

BobHoward posted:as forsyth mentions, intel management was just hostile to gpus. even using larrabee for graphics was politically difficult; not only did it ultimately get killed but as forsyth mentions, intel's regular gpu team was on a leash and not allowed to even try to build something bigger. (there was likely no technical limitation preventing them from scaling up, by their nature gpus scale up with relative ease) ehhhhh idk about this? kinda loses the thread

Athas posted:I had a PL experience last week. I was external examiner at a university, for a project course where the students had to design and implement their own language from scratch. This is in many ways an ill conceived idea, as these are second year students who have seen only C#, Java, and maybe a bit of Javascript. ... back in school (in the dark ages) I took an ISA class somewhere in the 300 range for the EE track one assignment was optimizing a layout, like how big and how many sets/ways should the icache vs. dcache be, how many gates on the branch target buffer, etc. and apparently so many students complained that they didn't "get to design their own ISA" that the prof felt a need to address it. he explained that like... maybe a dozen architects get to do that greenfield fresh ISA design ever in their careers, optimization is a heck of a lot easier to grade, and you'd probably gently caress up real ISA design anyway

my knowledge is hopelessly out of date, but I recall the x87 registers having a huge penalty? perhaps it's just when you try to switch back and forth between that and the XMM/YMM stuff, but I really thought that nuked the pipeline at some point

having a hard time reading the python complaints from a few pages back as someone who used to get paid to maintain perl written by EE's "oooh my modules took me an hour to sort out file paths" there were functions with no call sites, they'd just bodge up the name on the spot and eval() it. you'd weep
