 # Simon Hu - Design Notebook (Spring 2026)
 
+## Week 12
+### Comments:
+Final project proposal is produced. We will design an accelerator with a clear application. The design would be related to the radar. The goal of the project is to submit a research paper. 
+
+## Week 11
+### Comments:
+Writing the final project proposal, discussing the project with the team, and planning the next steps.
+
+The project is to build a simple AI accelerator chip, starting from a basic model like y = wx + b to demonstrate real ML computation in hardware.
+The project is interesting but manageable, which we will focus on a minimal design (MAC units + control) while still following the full MPW flow (RTL → synthesis → layout)
+It’s a strong project because it’s easy to understand, easy to present, and directly connected to real-world AI hardware (like GPUs/NPUs).
+
+We may also add a non-linear activation function (like ReLU) to make it more complete.
