Feed it a plain tensor loop (GEMM, Conv2D, Attention, MTTKRP) and it returns production-grade Verilog—no human-written templates, no HLS headaches. On a 28 nm test chip LEGO beats the state-of-the-art Gemmini generator by 3.2× speed and 2.4× energy while using the same MAC count and on-chip memory. What you will learn in 12 minutes Why even Google still hand-tunes TPU blocks—and where that hurts How LEGO removes …
