Stop buying black boxes.
Software went open three decades ago. Silicon never did.
Today, a PhD student who wants to test a new quantization scheme on real hardware has to sign NDAs, license EDA suites that cost more than their lab, and work around microcode they're never allowed to see. Most good ideas in computer architecture die in that gap, before anyone tests them.
We think chip design should work like Linux.
Gridworkz publishes everything: the RTL for our RISC-V64 cores, NPUs, G100 GPU and photonic tensor chiplet, the compiler and runtime, the testbenches, the constraint files and the errata. All of it is under Apache 2.0. Fork it, simulate it, or tape it out.
- 01Every register is documented. Every block has source.
- 02Everything runs on open-source tools: Verilator, OpenLane, LLVM.
- 03No NDAs, no royalties, no license servers.
- 04Errata are published, not hidden.
- 05Researchers come first. Results come back to the commons.
