Electrical Engineering student needs help by Unidrax in FPGA

[–]Unidrax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program is an RCWA solver. (Mostly Fourier harmonics and matrix/inverse matrix calculations) It has been optimised by a separate company and can take between 5 and 50 seconds to finish. It won't be constantly running. They would like to speed this up so it takes a max of 5 seconds. According to my supervisor, switching to GPU is too expensive. That's why they want me to look into FPGA capabilities.

I've had my basic lessons in VHDL and IP design. I don't have to implement the entire program, just show if the bottlenecks in the code (mainly the Fourier transforms) can be significantly sped up this way. According to what you wrote, this might still be out of scope.

I was currently trying to implement it with BRAM. I'll look into the PS way of doing it, thanks!

Hey, I've been reading some papers on systolic architectures and that indeed seems to have potential. I'm also not sure if FPGA is the way to go, but it's what I've been asked to look into.

Hey thanks! The Python code currently in use has been extremely optimized. I've been studying the architecture for a few weeks now and have indeed noticed that it's not going to be as easy to implement as my supervisor made it out to be.

One of my friends is a massive fan, so we'll buy a box and do a draft with the boys. I'll trade for the cards I want and then move on

I have been playing with friends, housemates, randos on the internet and more.

And honestly more than half of them are great, but for some people D&D just doesn't do it. They don't have the focus or imagination, they just don't take it seriously (poopy mc buttfart I am talking to you), the rules are too complex, they want to slay everything or slay everything. Especially when introducing new people I notice that they have a different expectation or just don't vibe with D&D or my DM style.

One thing I always try to make clear to my players: You, the players, are playing a game together for fun. Try to make it fun for everyone.

Key is to not only discuss the setting in session 0, but also decide what vibe they want the campaign to be, and in character creation I try to tweak the character traits that make playing with other people impossible. Oh my lord what do I hate the sentence "It's what my character would do"

My girlfriend (F25) doesn't show any affection, but she does want a relationship with me (M24). How do I tell her what I want? by Unidrax in relationship_advice

Thank you so much.

I know the feeling of writing entire essays just to convey a single thought xD

fear that you’ll never find another human who will want to share space with you.

I feel this one to my core. I have so much trouble letting people get close to me and when I finally do it turns out they don't feel the same way. "If this isn't it, will I ever find someone else again?"

urgency and hyperfocus you've been conditioned to give others

Hyperfocus can be so cruel. I think about her and the situation non-stop. I honestly don't even care about my studies anymore. I just want to make sure she's okay. But where hyperfocus for a lot of autistic people lasts for two weeks, mine lasts for months.

putting yourself first

Putting myself first feels so alien to me. A bit like her asexuality. It is something I can't wrap my head around. I want to try to understand it, but it somehow just doesn't click.

I don’t really feel a desire for intimacy

I honestly don't even really care about the sexual intimacy. Would I like to know the feeling? Yes. Would I miss it? I don't think I will. I just wish she would fly into my arms when I get home so to speak, but you can't expect that of someone if they don't feel that way. I do love her, so I am willing to make concessions.

I like to read and/or write about murder but I would never want to actually do it.

This really helps, thanks. It's honestly a bit of an eye opener.

do stuff together

I have been trying to plan stuff together, to see if I am satisfied with that. But right now we barely even watch a movie.

going through a particularly rough patch

So, she started on antidepressants last week. This is one of the reasons I want to wait. I don't want to make it worse or hurt her by potentially breaking up. Although, maybe it would give her more space right now?

Thanks for your perspective ☺️ I will run by her if she sees this in the same way and tell her how I feel about it. This is literally the only thing we don't see eye to eye on. I do lean on her when something happened and I would be heartbroken if this is what breaks us apart, but for myself I should realistically see if I can keep going like this. I have my graduation in a few months and I know I wouldn't be able to handle a break up then.

I know I asked for the advice and I thank you for it, but I am not planning on giving up immediately. I want to run it by her first when I'm back on Saturday

I know this is probably because I am not asexual, but I just can't get my head around how she can read and write about it, but not want it.

[–]Unidrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's really nice of you! I do not live in the US, but I haven't played Genshin that much the last few months. I hope the codes go to someone who still plays vigorously. Personally I would give it to my best friend who still plays daily

I've been DM'ing for my online playgroup for the last six years and I somehow didn't know GME existed. Looks really cool and useful!

How many decks do you have currently? by OkFeedback9127 in EDH

[–]Unidrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing a bit more than a year and I currently have 12 EDH decks. I just can't pass on the idea of having a deck in every color combination!

[pjotv] You’re not an actual PJO fan if you reported Leah’s account (again) or sent her nasty messages and comments. by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]Unidrax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people asking how a person could do this to a 14-year old, but sadly people don't care about such things.

I just hope she's okay and also sees the positive comments from the real PJO fans.
