HPE’s Spaceborne Computer-4 will ride Astrolab’s FLIP rover to the Moon’s south pole to run HPL, HPCG, and AI tests.
The engineering sample features six CPU cores, 24GB of LPDDR5 memory running at 9,600 MT/s, and an integrated GPU clocked at 2.4 GHz, although its connection to a future Steam Deck remains unconfirmed.
We demonstrate a multi-agent framework that takes an analog circuit from topology synthesis to layout. A researcher agent directs schematic and layout agents, a four-tier memory stores the specification and lessons, and separate agents review the designs. Deterministic tools provide pass/fail simulation reports,…
