hey tAd
UNbroken has joined #m-labs
<UNbroken>
does milkymist soc use RISC-V
<sb0>
no, risc-v implementations are very slow and extremely bloated
<UNbroken>
why is that? according to wackypedia : "A prototype of RISC-V Compressed has been tested.[14] Research with the prototype showed that the code was 15% smaller than an x86 PC, roughly equivalent to MIPS' compressed code, and 7% larger than ARM's Thumb-2 code."
<sb0>
I'm talking about logic resource usage and maximum clock frequency

ysionneau: there are other cooling techniques that we use but this is (a literally hand-waving explanation of) one of them.
<rjo>
other laser cooling techniques even.
<ysionneau>
ok :)
<ysionneau>
because I must confesse that before watching this video, it was very counter intuitive to me how you could cool down something by shooting laser at it :p
<rjo>
if you are running towards me and i throw lots of marbles at you, that will slow you down. that effect is roughly half of the story.
