11/17/2023video Google's cloud computing services was built on the concept of clustering thousands of low-cost computers with general-purpose CPUs. Paper: Barroso, L. A., Dean, J., & Holzle, U. (2003). Web search for a planet: The Google cluster architecture. IEEE micro, 23(2), 22-28. But Moore's law slows down and the demand for Google is scailing, eg, more youtube videos to be compressed Therefore, Google is moving to custom silicon for specific tasks like compression. Google's TPU is an example as well Open sourcePDKs: specs to be followed so chips can be manufactured by a foundry. They often have strict licenses, which makes universities (especially in the US) hard to collaborate and thus limits the reproductivity of researchesfind open source PDKs and partner up with foundaries, eg, Skywater silicon toolchain Google has been identifying open source projects that address process steps in a design flow and supports their researchers via academic grants. The goal has been to integrate these into an end-to-end toolchain, filling gaps via open source contributions from Google software engineers and industry partners
