Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) Dual-Chip Computer Architecture
Engineered Tesla's custom in-car FSD silicon featuring dual independent neural network accelerators processing 2,300 frames per second at under 72 watts, providing redundant lockstep execution for safety-critical real-time automotive vision.
Thermal dissipation in vehicle environments imposes strict wattage ceilings on sustained inference throughput.
Tenstorrent Wormhole & Blackhole RISC-V AI Accelerator Architecture
Architected the Wormhole and Blackhole processor cards integrating Tensix array cores with native RISC-V scalar processors and on-chip Ethernet switches, enabling direct chip-to-chip 2D mesh networking for LLM tensor parallel training without external PCIe bridges.
Software compiler ecosystem (TT-Metalium) requires continuous software developer adoption to compete with NVIDIA CUDA.
