21-day-one-fabrication

Day One Fabrication is a complete, self-contained package for beginning physical chip production at any qualified semiconductor foundry. It is built around the AutoPhi Scale Series (Project 24): an original CPU architecture that is not derived from RISC-V, ARM, x86, or any existing instruction set. The architecture pairs a Light CPU — executing arithmetic through colour-coded laser wavelengths and digital-optic micro mirrors — with a Quantum CPU offering 16 creative instructions that address Security, Performance, and Sanitary (clean-execution) problems. The two cores are unified in a Hybrid top module and integrated with the broader AutoPhi accelerator portfolio (REV-1, REV-4, REV-5, MicroSDXC, and Set of Five).

The package ships as a single encrypted Blu-ray disc containing synthesisable Verilog RTL, Yosys synthesis scripts, OpenLANE place-and-route configurations for three process nodes (130 nm, 14 nm, 7 nm), a seed-matrix calculator that models chip performance across six process nodes (130 nm down to 3 nm), five foundry-specific handoff packages (TSMC, Samsung, Intel IFS, SkyWater, GlobalFoundries), five hardware board schematics for the fabrication-support family, and all supporting documentation, testbenches, and verification tooling.

Performance ranges from 877 PFLOPS (Scale-1 baseline, 4 GHz clock, Light Trigger active, mirror efficiency applied) to 8.594 EFLOPS (Scale-64 maximum, 16 GHz clock, GREEN colour multiplication) as a standalone CPU — and up to 3.509 ZFLOPS when combined with the REV-5 accelerator. A total of 215 files across 44 directories are included in this delivery.

Five synthesisable Verilog modules in 24-autophi-scale/rtl/, totalling 1,206 lines of RTL:

Instructions are encoded by light wavelength. A single-photon Light Trigger initiates each instruction cycle. The 6-state FSM (IDLE → TRIGGER → COLOR_DECODE → OPERATION → MIRROR_REFLECT → COMPLETE) processes one instruction per trigger.

Instruction word: trigger [1 bit] + wavelength [8 bits] + intensity [8 bits] + laser_color [8 bits] = 25 bits total.

Each instruction addresses one or more of three problem categories: Security, Performance, and Sanitary (clean execution / data integrity). Opcodes are 8-bit; qubit mask is QUBITS-wide (default 64 bits); classical operand is 32 bits.

Implemented in seed_matrix_calculator.py (362 lines of Python). The calculator accepts CSV or JSON input, applies the six formulas below, and outputs computed results with 14 columns per scenario.

Additionally, two estimation functions scale parameters across nodes from a 130 nm reference: estimate_a_v(node) scales voxel area by (node/130)², and estimate_f_v(node) scales FLOPS per voxel by 1.5 × log₂(130/node + 1).

Relocated from AutoPhi Chip Formaldihyde. Integrated with the Light CPU architecture. Constants:

Lowest FLOPS calculation: 268,435,456 base threads × 4×10⁹ Hz × 1 op/cycle = 1.074 EFLOPS → ×2 Light Trigger = 2.148 EFLOPS → ×0.4082 mirror efficiency = 877 PFLOPS.

Highest FLOPS calculation: 268,541,696 base threads × 16×10⁹ Hz × 1 op/cycle = 4.297 EFLOPS → ×2 Light Trigger = 8.594 EFLOPS → ×2.0 GREEN MUL = 8.594 EFLOPS (or ×0.50 mirror = 4.297 EFLOPS conservative).

Each script runs read_verilog -sv, synth -top, opt -purge, opt -full, write_verilog, write_json, and stat. Technology mapping to SkyWater 130 nm (sky130_fd_sc_hd__tt_025C_1v80.lib) is configured but commented out for PDK-independent generic synthesis.

All configurations enable the full OpenLANE flow: synthesis, floorplan, placement, CTS, routing, fill insertion, tap/decap insertion, antenna check, final GDS generation, Magic DRC, and LVS.

Complete schematics (KiCad format where applicable), BOMs with vendor part numbers, and specifications for five boards in the Day-One Fabrication support family:

The Scale Series CPU integrates with six AutoPhi accelerators via the autophi_scale_accelerator_integration and autophi_accelerator_interface_adapter modules:

The 24-autophi-scale/scripts/ directory contains 42 scripts (23 .bat, 14 .sh, 3 .ps1, 2 .py):

This package ships on a single Blu-ray disc, posted to the delivery address on your order. The archive on the disc is AES-256 encrypted; the passphrase is sent separately, by email, once the disc is despatched — so the disc alone is of no use to anyone who intercepts it.

Discs are despatched by tracked, signed-for post. Allow 5 business days for mastering and verification before despatch.
