Welcome to SoC Labs.

I see you have shared an interest in accelerators.  Will you be working on the accelerator part of the Data Acquisition SoC design

? There are several projects in last year's contest that should give you some ideas for how to develop this. One thing to consider is the data flow into and out of the custom accelerator logic. Two examples Hell Fire SoC and Fast Knn accelerator have both been taped out in 65nm technology node and may help with your design and also you could also benefit from development of re-usable design assets.

Do you have any questions?
