Thank you John for the welcome on Monday 1st June and giving a big picture about SoC Labs and how my role would fit into the current work. I look forward to contributing to SoC Labs to the best of my ability.

Hi Amrit,

Welcome to SoC Labs! Great to see your account set up, and thanks for the detailed overview of SPARSEBEAT. It sounds like a strong project, and your workflow across Python modelling, SystemVerilog RTL, and formal verification shows a strong grasp of the full design and verification flow.

I would also encourage exploring the Ethernet-based off-chip communications subsystem in nanoSoC V3, as John suggested. Comparing its energy use against your compression accelerator should give a good system-level view of your work's impact.

Looking forward to collaborating on this project with you.

Hi Vasant,

Welcome to SoC Labs, and good to connect again, this time on the platform! Great to hear you'll be joining the MSc in Microelectronics Systems Design at Southampton soon.

It's great that you're keen on hardware accelerators, and your three years of experience as a digital design engineer are a strong base to build on. Once you're settled in, I would suggest starting small to get a feel for the full flow before going deeper into any one area.

Happy to help with pointers when the time comes. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Malik.

Hi Srinivas,

Thank you for creating an account on the SoC Labs website and sharing an outline of your project. We would be pleased to collaborate with you on integrating your accelerator within the NanoSoC flow, and as John mentioned, a Teams or Meet call would be a good starting point.

Let us know what suits you best and we'll arrange accordingly.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Malik

Hi,

Thank you for creating a profile on the SoC Labs website. It would be great if you could start documenting your project and updating it as you progress. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Hi,

Great work on integrating the FIR core and AHB wrapper into the NanoSoC expansion region.

As you focus on writing up your dissertation, feel free to align your project documentation directly with your chapters so you aren't doing extra work. Capturing the integration flow, any challenges you ran into, and key diagrams now will serve as great material for both your project updates and the dissertation itself.

Best of luck with the write-up, and I look forward to seeing your progress!

Best regards,
Malik

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for creating an account on the SoC Labs website. I believe John would be able to help with setting up an organisation for your university, and we look forward to collaborating.

Kind regards,
Malik

Hi AlMuathir,

Thanks for creating an account on the SoC Labs website, and welcome to the community. It’s great to hear of your background as an MSc Microelectronics System Design student with hands-on industry experience in digital IC design.

It would be great to talk through how you could collaborate with the lab, and you’re also welcome to share your interests with the wider community on the site.

Best regards,
Malik
