About TwoTanks

The Story

TwoTanks started as a personal playground for exploring the fascinating intersection of FPGA development and artificial intelligence. The name comes from the dual approach: one tank for hardware, one for software, working together to solve interesting problems.

This site documents experiments in custom hardware design, from implementing neural network accelerators in RTL to building high-performance computing primitives for cryptographic applications.
