19-Year-Old's Supercomputer Chip Startup Gets DARPA Contract, Funding
An anonymous reader writes: 19-year-old Thomas Sohmers, who launched his own supercomputer chip startup back in March, has won a DARPA contract and funding for his company. Rex Computing, is currently finishing up the architecture of its final verified RTL, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The new Neo chips will be sampled next year, before moving into full production in mid-2017.The Platform reports: "In addition to the young company’s first round of financing, Rex Computing has also secured close to $100,000 in DARPA funds. The full description can be found midway down this DARPA document under 'Programming New Computers,' and has, according to Sohmers, been instrumental as they start down the verification and early tape out process for the Neo chips. The funding is designed to target the automatic scratch pad memory tools, which, according to Sohmers is the 'difficult part and where this approach might succeed where others have failed is the static compilation analysis technology at runtime.'"
$1.25? Contact me and I'll double, hell why not triple your funding! :)
How come Slashdot never gets Slashdotted?
Thomas, you are awesome.
Enjoy your success. I see from your bio that in your "free time" you like to play guitar. I hope you've bought yourself a good one (or six).
You are welcome on my lawn.
When I was 19, my main achievement was building a bong out of a milk jug.

An ENTIRE sleepless night? Wow. Sounds TOUGH. —said no MIT grad ever.
While this is obvious troll bait, I can't resist the opportunity to just say that yes, I have kissed multiple girls.
and stack machines are notorious for having HORRIBLE support for languages like C
Which is what makes them so awesome. It's like a door that filters out undesirable drunken retards before they even enter your house.
