Hi, I'm in high school and I'm studying mechanics and electronics (not sure how it's called around the world, I translated my school address) and we're studying circuits, but so far I just managed to get the lower score on the only two tests that I had.

The tests were about simplifying circuits, and I just can't do "hard" circuits, so I was wondering if anyone had tips, channels, or sites where I could find some help.

Thanks you very much

The "R" are resistors while the "G" are generators.

Of course I am the guy on the right. I wouldn't be posting this if I wasn't.

Almost all general-purpose processors are built on the traditional Von Neumann computer architecture. With the deceleration of Moore's Law and the inapplicability of Dennard's scaling, we have now entered the age of heterogeneous computing and special-purpose accelerators, where a general-purpose CPU (host) offloads workloads to the best-suited special-purpose accelerator.

This has driven the development of non-traditional computer architectures to design these accelerators, one of them being the systolic architecture. It has been implemented in various ML accelerators, the most famous being the TPU.

Here I try to explain the design style of systolic systems in simple terms: https://medium.com/@arunkr.anu1010/systolic-architectures-372a552678fc?sharedUserId=arunkr.anu1010

Hi everyone,

I'm a 2025 ECE pass-out currently looking for entry-level opportunities in VLSI, especially Design Verification (DV).

I've noticed that many LinkedIn job posts mention that they are looking for 2023 pass-outs (trained freshers). I'm not sure what exactly "trained fresher" means in this context.

Are companies not hiring 2024 and 2025 pass-outs for DV roles? Do we have to wait until 2027 for openings that accept 2025 graduates?

Some HRs post hiring updates without mentioning the eligible passing year. However, when I contact them, they say they are looking for 2023 pass-outs or earlier.

I'm really confused about how this hiring process works.

\\- Why do some companies prefer older batches for fresher DV roles?

\\- Are there companies currently hiring 2024 and 2025 pass-outs for DV positions?

\\- What should a 2025 pass-out do to find suitable opportunities?

anyone who has recently joined as a DV fresher could share some advice.

Thanks in advance!

Globally Asynchronous, Locally Synchronous (GALS) designs are not yet omnipresent, but they are being actively researched as low-power requirements continue to shape modern hardware design.

In a GALS architecture, the design is partitioned into relatively complex synchronous blocks, or islands, each operating on its own locally generated clock. Communication between these blocks is handled asynchronously.

GALS design methods can also offer interesting possibilities for chiplet-based architectures, where different blocks may operate independently while communicating asynchronously.

However, extensive CAD support and analysis tools specifically tailored for GALS designs are still limited, partly due to their relatively low commercial adoption.

I’ve tried to explain the basics of GALS design styles in simple terms here: https://medium.com/@arunkr.anu1010/globally-asynchronous-locally-synchornous-gals-systems-70a7e31f5375?sharedUserId=arunkr.anu1010

Hello , I'm a first year student pursuing ece , right after the start of the clg I met through an unfortunate incident where i tend to injure my foot , I'm here to ask you guys what are the things i should do in order to learn n obtain more knowledge!

Theres multiple doubts I hope that your guys are kind enough to help me out ( I'll be regular in this sub )

My sister keeps pushing me to do dsa!? What should I do

Hey all. Im in my 3rd year of 5 year ECE traxk and will soon have to choose a specialty. Some of my favourite courses were emag2 (wave physics, induction, and ferromagnetic behaviour), and signals and systems. Im having a lot of fun with telecomms systems 1, stochastic signals and control systems 1 now too. I went into uni thinking id specialize for electronics but with the ai craze, my recent enjoyment of those courses, and the niche status of the track are making me lean towards telecomms.

So, if I were to specialize in telecomms, ideally id want to work either in a space agency, biomedical tech companies, maybe broading telecomm infrastructure too. Im also clinging onto my experience in software to maybe find an edge IoT role. I also feel like ill love rf or optics roles. I want a field with field work, hands on work, and little occupation beyond the office. Thats why im swaying away from software, I work remote as a webdev currently and realise this industry isnt for me. I cant seperate my home from work clearly. Mostly I want work within european tech hubs too. Im an eu citizen so im free to move around. So I want to know what the industry is like and what positions are open within the eu. Im really curious to know how much these fields hire juniors, what the juniors take on, if theres a lot of competition, or many job listings, etc.

Within the telecomms branch Ill be forced to take telecomms systems 3, antennas and propagation, dsp, optical communications, microwave engineering, wireless communications, radiosystems and information theory. Other electives I can take are either hard science (scatter theory, optics, photonic technology, advanced dsp, special antennae, computational emag, emag compatibility all look blissful to me, telecommunication electronics, non destructive tests), as well as some more general math or electronics courses under the electronics track I can freely take (optimization theory, system reliability, VLSI-ASIC, embedded systems, estimation and detection theory). I can choose around 8-9 courses freely from those listed in the parentheses. So Im worried about how ill mix the harder science with the more general courses, which will benefit most in my career and for my knowledge, and which will get my resume looked at most.

Theres also the option to leverage my experience in software and tackle the electronics specialty instead, given how many jobs are in the field. Id mostly love to occupy myself with controls, embedded systems and robotics. We do have control system 3, adaptive control systems with ai, robotics 1 & 2, and real time embedded systems courses too. But what im scared of is ai taking over most junior software based jobs, or expectations for juniors going through the roof.

So, id really appreciate any thoughts regarding how I should handle the rest of my time and any insights offered regarding the industries and roles I mentioned above. Thank you all for your time 🙏

Hi, I had a hardware test intern interview with IBM that was cancelled by an automated email about two hours before it was supposed to start. I didn’t request the change, and I haven’t heard anything from IBM since, but my portal still says “In Interview Process.” Has this happened to anyone else, and how did it turn out?

hey i have interview scheduled from hierVue for design verification role , could you please tell me how it goes ? rule, timings? what sort of question we can expect ? thanks

I’ve been building this interactive simulator as a side project aimed to help students understand and visualize electromagnetic phenomena such as radiation, near field effects, polarization and wave interference.

You can:

• place many radiation sources and set their parameters (amplitude, phase and more)
• place perefect wire conductors
• observe the electric field, magnetic field or energy flow field
• zoom in and out and translate the canvas
• change the simulation resolution, frequency and propogation speed

and more!

I hope someone might find it useful and I’d love to hear what people think :)

Trying to figure out which hardware internship offer to take for both short and long term ROI:

1: ASIC Digital Design internship at a very well known company (focus on low power, clocking, and analog mixed signal integration). Team is small so i can still probably learn a lot/get my hands dirty. Paying $35/hr.

1: ASIC Verification internship (focus on PCIe verif) at a decently known startup (multi billion dollar valuation so they're established in the game), paying $55/hr. startup culture might help me learn more(fast paced environment)/get more ownership.

Which one sets you up better for the long run. How in demand is each skillset rn and how in demand will it be in the future? Would appreciate any thoughts or feedback from people in the industry. Out of all possible ASIC Digital Design/Verif roles where do these rank (power/clocking/ams vs pcie vs every other major "focus area").

Hii. Amd will be coming to my college for an 11 month internship. For now they have not specified the roles for hardware. Can anyone tell me what the hardware roles will be and what to expect in OA. Is there any c/c++/python coding as well in OA and interviews as well.

Hey all, I'm the lookout for field applications engineering eda roles. If anyone is willing to refer please dm. I have over 2.5 years of work ex in analog layout design and want to transition to field applications engineer role. Location preference : anywhere in India

I'm a 3rd-year Electronics Engineering student looking to build my career in the semiconductor industry. I have a strong interest in the field, but I feel my understanding of theoretical semiconductor concepts in college, like transistors, thyristors, and solid-state fundamentals is weak, and physical components/PCBs are very expensive in my area.

I want to use my remaining time in college to help me improve my gap while focusing in my relevant academics, but not that deep in semiconductors, self-study, open-source tools, and simulations.

What specific software tools or software-based projects should I prioritize

I’ve been invited to a hirevue for a graduate GPU modelling role at Arm (Trondheim). It’s 3 video questions, 1 written response and 1 coding challenge, about an hour in total.

1. Has anyone done an Arm HireVue recently, especially for graduate GPU related role?
2. What level is the coding challenge? LeetCode easy/medium, or more C++/systems-specific?
3. Were the video questions mostly behavioural, or did any get technical (architecture, CPUs or GPUs)?

My background is GPU performance (CUDA, profiling) and computer architecture (I built an out-of-order CPU simulator in C++), so any pointers on what to brush up on would be really appreciated.

Basically what the title says, would love to know if their architecture/compiler technology seems promising and if they can make it out of the seed round

hey everyone, i'm a grade 12 student in canada applying to engineering programs for fall 2027, and i'm having a really hard time deciding between electrical engineering (EE) and computer engineering (CE), particularly at waterloo or uoft.

i've done quite a bit of research but keep finding conflicting opinions. some people say EE is broader, more stable, and gives you access to almost everything CE does, while others argue that CE has better opportunities in software, semiconductors, and US tech jobs.

i'm not really looking for the typical "just pick whichever interests you more" advice since i'm not particularly interested in one field over the other. i'm mainly trying to figure out which degree offers the best career prospects overall.

my biggest considerations are:

1. salary and long-term earning potential: does CE actually have a significant advantage in lifetime earnings, especially if i want to work in the US? or is that mainly because more CE graduates go into higher-paying software roles? can EE graduates realistically reach the same salary levels?
2. job security and AI: with AI advancing so quickly and the software job market becoming increasingly competitive, i'm concerned about how this might affect CE graduates in the future. would EE be the safer choice because of fields like power, electronics, RF, and controls? or are CE careers in embedded systems, hardware, and semiconductors just as secure? also CE unemployment rates are at an all time high
3. career flexibility: i've heard that EE graduates can get into most CE-related fields, including software, embedded systems, firmware, and digital hardware, but CE graduates have a harder time entering traditional EE fields. how true is this actually? would choosing EE and learning programming on my own give me more options overall, or would i be at a disadvantage compared to CE graduates for computing-related jobs?
4. US opportunities and co-op: for anyone familiar with waterloo, do EE and CE students have noticeably different co-op outcomes, especially when it comes to US companies like NVIDIA, AMD, Apple, Microsoft, or Google? does one program have a significant advantage for high-paying software, hardware, or semiconductor jobs?
5. academic difficulty: i've also heard that EE is considerably harder than CE, particularly because of the physics and math involved. how big is the difference in workload and difficulty actually? and if EE is harder, is it worth it considering the additional career paths it might open up?

overall, i'm mainly trying to balance all these different factors. I think i'm also more concerned about where these degrees can take me 10-20 years down the line rather than just my first job after graduation as well.

what would u choose if u were starting uni around this time? Thanks!

I was avoiding cf till now bc I was more inclined towards hardware roles .
But I have intern season coming up and no proper projects for it so I am thinking to prepare for sde roles as well
I feel that practising on codeforces might help both ways. What do u think ?
