The ever-widening availability of FPGAs has opened the door to
solving a broad set of performance-critical problems in
hardware. In this episode, Ron speaks with Andy Ray, who
leads Jane Street’s hardware design team. Andy has a long career
prior to Jane Street shipping hardware designs for things like
modems and video codecs. That work led him to create Hardcaml, a
domain-specific language for expressing hardware designs. Ron and
Andy talk about the current state-of-the-art in hardware tooling,
the economics of FPGAs, and how the process of designing hardware
can be improved by applying lessons from software engineering.
