Guillaume Savaton writes guillaume savaton, a personal blog at guillaume.baierouge.fr about programming and hardware. Since 2014, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. The last post was in 2024, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Guillaume Savaton's posts describe a RISC-V core written in Racket and its hardware-design approach, such as signal-of-vectors versus vector-of-signals. The linked comment only discusses that topic.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
In the "signal-of-vectors vs vector-of-signals" comparison, "vector" refers to the Racket data type used for arrays. It should not be confused with "bit vectors", which are represented as integers (assuming that a bit can only be 0 or 1). While it is theoretically feasible, I would rather not use an array to store bits. I think that your question assumes a model of computation similar to VHDL or Verilog. The techniq…
