Hello!
Hello! I'm Subbu.
Welcome to the sv:io newsletter where I share my thoughts on Hardware Engineering, papers/books/news I'm excited about, works in progress, and notifications about new articles.
This newsletter is meant to accompany the in-depth articles that I publish on the website. I’d love to hear your feedback on what you find most helpful, so I’ll do more of what works.
Who is this for?
This newsletter is for anyone who works on some aspect of SoC/ASIC development -- SoC Architects, RTL Designers, DV, Emulation and Validation Engineers.
This is especially for you if:
You work in a small team where you have to wear multiple hats through the life of a project (i.e, Designers who also have to some DV; DV folks who also have to do Formal and write some Software/Firmware.)
You are ambitious and you want to widen the breadth of your Hardware Engineering knowledge.
You care about rigorous thinking, quality of your code, and setting a high bar.
You are a student who finds their course material insufficient and want to get a taste of real world engineering.
Why did I create sv:io?
I started this website because almost every topic in Hardware Engineering is getting increasingly complex. The information available publicly often lacked the necessary depth and explanation I required to meaningfully apply it to my work.
Also, It's fun to be good at your job. This happens by deeply understanding the work your are doing, studying the work of others and developing an intuition through an understanding of history.
I hope you enjoy what you read here and find it useful.
Start Here
