Multi-Agentic Software Development Is a Distributed Systems Problem

https://kirancodes.me/images/agentic-coordination.svg
The author argues that multi-agentic software development is a distributed systems problem that inherits impossibility results from the literature, including the FLP theorem and Lamport's Byzantine Generals theorem. These results imply that consensus is impossible in certain scenarios, and the author suggests that designers should explicitly address these coordination problems rather than ...

UpDown: Efficient Manycore based on Many Threading & Scalable Memory Parallelism

Manycore architectures are a promising direction for single-chip performance. They typically use in-order cores and caches as build- ing blocks and can produce good performance on regular appli- cations. However, on irregular applications, they have low core utilization due to data-dependent control-flow and memory access. We propose UpDown manycore that employs a novel core with Event-Driven ...

A soft robot has no problem moving with no motor and no gears

https://engineering.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/softbot-gif.gif
With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs inside the body and help explore dangerous environments. But the squishy machines are often limited by rigid mechanical parts or external systems that provide power or help them move. Now, engineers at Princeton have designed and built soft-rigid hybrid robots that move ...
