Welcome.
My name is Florian and I am currently a PhD student with the Integrated Systems Laboratory of ETH Zurich. My research interest include the design of very large scale integration circuits with particular focus on application specific integrated circuits and their applications in high performance computing. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me!
Chips.
As part of my PhD program I have designed and contributed to the following chips:
Baikonur (GF22FDX)
Baikonur is the successor of Kosmodrom featuring two Ariane cores and 25 Snitch cores.
Kosmodrom (GF22FDX)
Kosmodrom features two Ariane cores and a neural network accelerator (NTX).
Scarabeus (UMCL65)
Designed by students partially under my supervision. Features one Ariane core and a tensor DMA.
