About us
Ever wanted to know what's actually happening when your code runs — past the syntax, down to the silicon? So do we.
This is a group for people in New York who are curious about how computers work at the level of CPUs, GPUs, memory hierarchies, interconnects, and everything in between. Whether you design hardware for a living, write low-level code, are working through a comp-arch course or textbook, or just can't stop wondering how a chip turns electricity into computation, you'll fit right in.
We're here to learn out loud and build a real community around it. Expect a mix of:
Talks and walkthroughs — members presenting on topics they know or are digging into (cache coherence, branch prediction, FPGAs, RISC-V, accelerators for ML, you name it)
Paper and chapter discussions — picking apart a classic architecture paper or working through a book together
Show-and-tell — bring a project, a benchmark, a weird performance bug, or a half-baked idea
Casual hangouts where the only requirement is genuine curiosity
No prerequisites beyond interest. Beginners are genuinely welcome — some of the best questions come from people seeing things for the first time, and explaining ideas is one of the best ways to actually learn them. Experts are welcome too, especially if you like sharing what you know.
If you've been looking for people to nerd out with about how computers really work, you've found them. Join us.
