Astrobotic Technology | Embedded & SW Engineering | Pittsburgh, PA | Onsite | Full Time | US persons only | https://www.astrobotic.com
Astrobotic is a small space robotics company with big ambitions. Our R&D team has numerous contracts to develop and deliver in-space navigation and in-space computing software and hardware to help spacecraft land on the Moon and other planetary bodies We need multiple talented robotics/software engineers to support and take leading positions in the development of our technology portfolio. We’ll be developing novel sensors and flying them in-space within a few years.
Our R&D team operates autonomously and collaboratively. We hope that new researchers will be eager learners with ambitions to master their field in a short period of time by challenging themselves and aiming high. While there is a lot of work to do to deliver on our technical contracts, we hope to find people who believe they can dream and develop new technologies to increase our access to space.

I messed around with some slightly above toy work, implementing expectation-maximization for gaussian mixture models and some other supporting tools for 3D point clouds, and found it really intuitive for someone with a decent amount of FP experience but little GPU experience.
Biggest challenge for me was a lack of profiling tools when running OpenCL on an NVIDIA GPU, I got OK performance but had no way to identify hotspots or opportunities for improvement.

Very interesting, I recently put together a simple caffe static compiler of my own on the path to FPGA deployment of CNN inference pipelines. I looked at halide[0] as a possible intermediate representation for CPU, GPU, and FPGA, (as a step above LLVM IR), but Likely seems like an interesting option.

Its been done, but AFAIK not with hand etching: http://hforsten.com/making-embedded-linux-computer.html
I don't think you can do high frequency RAM lines with hand etched boards or BGA escape routing without vias, but two layer prototype boards are pretty cheap these days.

You could check out Macrofab: https://macrofab.com/
I've never actually used them but their online tooling is impressive, they have reasonable prices for low quantity assembly, and they've manufactured and fulfilled a few kickstarter projects.

My understanding is that MyHDL is in fact more like Chisel/Clash, it specifically says "It does not turn arbitrary Python into silicon" in their getting started guide (and as sklogic says).

Re:Show HN: Chan – pure C implementation of Go channels
on Friday August 29, 2014 @07:59PM (#8245076)
Libtask[1] by Russ Cox (one of the creators of Go) may provide some inspiration. It implements channels but uses coroutines instead of threading. As a consequence it has some cool stuff like networking and it does all of the hard parts of saving/restoring registers for task switching.
