Satnam Singh, early Google TPU architect and GPU legend, shared a stack of old paper printouts unearthed during a garage clear-out, keeping his 2009 paper "Design and verification of peripheral control circuits in Esterel" — his Microsoft Research Cambridge work on using the concurrent language Esterel for formal verification of control circuits.
A charming bit of chip-design history surfacing via garage decluttering.
