Jun 1, 2025June 2025 performance summary for chipsalliance/t1: Delivered a comprehensive RTL Interface Layer linking Lanes, Sequencer, and LSU, including refactors of T1/Lane modules to optimize data flow. Implemented and wired the core interfaces (LaneInterface, SequencerInterface, LSUInterface) and completed end-to-end channel wiring (physical and virtual) with IO interface adaptation. Addressed critical memory and data-path issues (ZVMA sizing, RAM width, ALU column sizing), refined VRF synchronization, and ensured tail-update semantics in dataPath. These efforts yield improved throughput, reduced integration risk, and a solid foundation for verification and future optimizations.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for repository chipsalliance/t1 focused on correctness, reliability, and RTL verification improvements. Delivered Gather Read Support and corrected WAR checks to properly account for gather reads and gather16 reads, enhancing RTL simulation accuracy and data-dependency tracking in the instruction write/report path. Fixed critical issues in data-path handling and control logic, including MaskUnit last-group data handling and StoreUnit dequeue readiness with address queue free, reducing data-correctness risks and stalls. These changes strengthen hardware data-path correctness, reduce runtime stalls, and lay a stronger foundation for subsequent verification cycles and feature work.
