FIELD NOTES / COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS / № 001

Small chip.
Complete story.

A GPU is an architecture before it is a chip. Explore instructions, memory and execution as one portable, replayable state.

SHA-256 identifies the artifact. It is not a validity proof or a blockchain receipt.

02 / ANATOMY OF THE MACHINE

Don't just store a circuit.
Give it a memory.

Instructions are only half the machine. We bring lanes, banked memory and a replayable trace into the same experiment.

01 — COMPUTE

Many lanes. One kernel.

Schedule integer matrix operations across 4, 8 or 16 logical lanes. Follow every multiply and add.

SIMT-INSPIRED EXECUTION ↗
02 — MEMORY

The bottleneck has a shape.

Route reads across 2, 4 or 8 memory banks. Discover why more lanes can mean more contention.

HBM-INSPIRED BANKING ↗
03 — REPLAY

A machine you can carry.

Export the inputs, configuration and trace as a hashed artifact. Import it and recompute the result.

DETERMINISTIC LOCAL REPLAY ↗
03 / THE BIGGER IDEA

The chip is
not the limit.

AI made compute physical again. More transistors. Taller memory stacks. Bigger bandwidth budgets.

Chip Cricket asks a different question: what is the smallest complete machine we can describe, execute and independently replay?

Our direction is an inscribed GPU specification: instruction semantics, memory rules and reproducible execution. This workbench explores that idea with integer kernels in your browser. It does not reproduce physical HBM bandwidth, run AI models or execute onchain.

Start small. Inspect everything. ↗

A little machine.
A lot to learn.

ONCHAIN PUBLICATION

Coming soon.

Your local execution is ready to export. Publishing an inscription requires a deployed protocol, a selected chain and a wallet integration. These are not available in this prototype.

No transaction has been sent. Your configuration and result remain in the lab.
