CARP thrives on collaboration between students and industry. Accessing fabrication shuttles, advanced tooling, and meaningful design reviews requires resources that only generous partners can provide.

What makes CARP unique is that we aren’t just a research group. We are an open, student-driven ecosystem for computer architecture at Cal Poly. Our members engage directly in the design of custom silicon, verification, embedded integration, and system-level architecture, while also learning the essentials of project coordination and technical communication. The result is a team of engineers ready to contribute to the semiconductor workforce with a desire for innovation.

We invite partners to join us in this effort by providing funding, tools, and mentorship. In return, CARP offers visibility across campus and the broader open-source hardware community, along with direct connections to a growing pipeline of motivated, highly-skilled students.
