Welcome to schmole.com

Welcome to schmole.com — a public space for engineering notes, deep dives, and the tools I build while working in silicon hardware architecture.

What to expect

Architecture & Microarchitecture

Trade-off analyses, pipeline design notes, memory system explorations, and write-ups on topics like coherence protocols and on-chip interconnects.

RTL & Implementation

Notes on synthesis flows, timing constraints, and the gap between architectural intent and physical reality.

Performance Engineering

Workload characterization, bottleneck hunting, and the cycle-accurate models that reveal what is actually happening inside a chip.

Tools & Scripts

Python utilities and browser-based tools from the python-scripts and web-apps directories — automation that makes EDA work faster.

Stay tuned for more posts.
