(Image credit: Adam Majmudar) An engineer has shared his experience of designing a CPU from scratch, over two weeks, “with no prior experience.” During this brief period, Adam Majmudar claims to have learned the fundamentals of chip architecture, absorbed the finer points of chip fabrication, and prepared his first full chip layout using EDA tools. The next step in his “speed-running the chip stack” to-do list is designing a GPU from scratch. When finished this project is destined for production...
