December 2025 (Month 2025-12) monthly summary for Purdue-SoCET/aihw-design-logs focused on Scheduler Core documentation and progress tracking, establishing a foundation for modeling and unit testing while increasing visibility for stakeholders. Key work centered on consolidating Scheduler Core documentation, clarifying component interactions and data flow, and improving documentation quality and syntax related to functional unit status. Added a markdown outlining understanding of the Scheduler Core with clear next steps for modeling and unit testing, and instituted weekly progress reports to communicate status and upcoming milestones. Major deliverables and progress: - Scheduler Core Documentation and Progress Tracking delivered: detailed docs of Scheduler Core components, flow, and status; corrected syntax in docs related to functional unit status; added a markdown briefing with modeling/unit-testing next steps; and implemented weekly progress reporting. - Version control and commits: four commits spanning weeks 13–14 (8aae004660f3935d3321e7ca8599174621f9ac17 – week13; 94af0da8c9f1f3128aa0030d56137ab794bab86d – fix week 13; 1ef6a0285b6ac7b6875a96e71ee4dbac013c7282 – week 14; 11fdc083f881163efa24d81e6cfe02ab5f543ffb – final) that collectively finalize the documentation and weekly progress mechanism. Key achievements (top 3–5): - Clear, consolidated Scheduler Core documentation and progress-tracking framework delivered. - Corrected syntax and improved accuracy in functional unit status documentation. - Markdown-based overview with next steps enabling modeling and unit testing. - Established weekly progress reporting to improve transparency and planning. Overall impact and business value: - Improves maintainability and onboarding for new engineers by providing a complete, up-to-date reference of Scheduler Core components and their flow. - Enables faster validation via explicit next steps for modeling and unit testing, reducing cycle times for feature validation. - Increases stakeholder confidence through regular status updates and a clear project trajectory. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Technical writing and documentation best practices, including markdown and structured changelogs. - Version control hygiene and traceability via meaningful commit messages. - Project management discipline with weekly status reporting and forward-looking milestones.

October 2025 performance summary for Purdue-SoCET/aihw-design-logs. Delivered core frontend integration for Vector Core requests to the SRAM controller/crossbar via a two-stage pipeline (frontend.sv), including a simplified contract assuming mutually exclusive read/write per instruction and improvements to repo tooling and organization. Advanced the scratchpad memory design with swizzling algorithms, a read-request FSM, and interface updates, accompanied by rubric-aligned documentation. Initiated a Cycle-Accurate Simulator (CAS) roadmap for the Atalla project, outlining DES-based design with a global tick and planning evaluation against gem5 and GPGPU-sim. Addressed LaTeX/documentation rendering issues to maintain consistency with design rubrics and workflow tooling improvements.
