@arielle.polycule.social Heya 👋 (just testing some fediverse stuff)

Congratulations @clairexen.bsky.social: #HotChips / IEEE TCMM 2025 Open Source Hardware Contribution Award

So if you are currently involved with ISA-level decisions about inclusion of any pext/pdep-like instructions: Please consider including SAG/inverse-SAG with bit-reversal of the goats. No matter which of the two implementation methods you are using: All you need to do is not mask the goat bits.

Here is the code: github.com/clairexen/ed... I can't see any obvious reason why that identity should not extend beyond 8-bit units. But I have not actually tested that hypothesis yet.

I have to make a correction regarding ☝️. I've now implemented the Hilewitz-Lee method as well in my edu-sag repository. And it implements the bit-reflecting-SAG as-is. All you have to do is to remove the '&ci' from the data input, thus it's always more area to implement PEXT than bit-reflecting-SAG.

I wrote a reference implementation for a SAG without bit reflection: github.com/clairexen/ed..., and I wrote a parametric SAG core for any bit width: github.com/clairexen/ed...

To have trans friends is to hold candles in the wind. I can’t say if the storm is fate or man-made. I only know I’m losing light.

Yes, I mean the definition of SAG with the mirroring. The non-mirrored version is way more expensive (and IMO actually less desirable anyway). I just wrote this: github.com/clairexen/ed... I've been meaning to write this code for quite some time...

When I was little I wanted a time machine. Now I have (c)PTSD. Beware what you wish for.

I've just posted a reminder on Twitter, that I am now on bsky. Let's make this a doubly linked list: Just in case you wanna see my old Twitter, that I'm not using anymore, here you go: twitter.com/oe1cxw (it'll forward you to "X" but hell no I won't post an X link for this, or call it my "old X" :P)

... and it has a robust CSG engine, described in arxiv.org/abs/2405.12949 (that just got accepted pending minor revisions)

1st post on bluesky!

I've updated my "rules for ready/valid handshakes" to describe both a control implementation I made heavy use of in the past year, and to add discussion on the synchronization operation which underlies ready/valid handshakes, much like ready/valid handshakes underlie AXI4. fpgacpu.ca/fpga/handsha...

I probably spent way too much time fiddling with those functions today.. But I'm quite happy with what I ended up with. ツ

Wow. ChatGPT knows about my transition and my new name, but only if you know about it as well.

When I was working on RISC-V BitManip I was doing inverse xorshift as a benchmark example. This picture makes a lot of sense ;)

xorshift128+ is just gf(2) matrix exponentiation

different fields of math are a scam to sell more wikipedia articles. it's all the same math, just rearranged

Gotta post something here as well I guess.. 😅 so here are some selfies I found on my phone that I kinda like 🦋💜✨ #firstpost
