My chip is done

by Anand Lal Shimpi on April 24, 2004 3:39 AM EST
I just finished my chip for my ASIC class, I'm running some clock optimization passes overnight as well as one final verification test to make sure it actually does what it's supposed to do. If all goes well, I'll post my die size tomorrow afternoon :)

It's synthesized using 0.25-micron libraries, so it shouldn't be *too* big...I hope.

Thanks to my 6AM bedtime last night I'm basically not tired at all right now, maybe I'll stay up and try to optimize the chip a bit...who am I kidding, I'm sick of this thing. Goodnight folks.

    #6: Heh... people on the forums and here has always tried to ask him such questions but he is not going to answer them as it will give us a hint to the amount of revenue AnandTech generates on a yearly basis. He definitely has a convertible and I am sure it will be some $80,000 car. I am also sure that he has a huge house that he lives in alone.

    AnandTech definitely generates over $1 million in revenue per year. Anand said that himself in one his interviews online.

    No point in asking him such questions. :-)

    Anand,

    I posted a reply to this blog:

    But it's so far back, I doubt you are going to read it.

    Just curious what car you drive now?

    Can't you just buy a used one? They can't be that hard to find second hand can they?

    Anand, will the Pentium 3s ever go down in price again? I wanna upgrade from my P3800 to P3 1ghz+ but its around $100. When Athlon XPs are higher clocked and cheaper I obviously can't buy it. Will they ever go down?

    I dont want to buy new mobo and computer I just need new P3. Thanks..

    I probably missed this somewhere else... but what does the chip do/what is it used for?

    We're doing a simulator for a class I'm taking right now and I would love to see your chip. What's the chance of an article on it, or at least some pics.

    Heh, not tired ey? Try practicing martial arts, working out at a gym, shooting hoops after that then coming home and writing code for 2 more hours.
