Our team wants to move to MPW-8, but the deadline for submission was closed.
Is it possible for us to move to MPW-8? (We are currently doing MPW-7)
Thanks.

10/21/2022, 7:07 PM@sepide asgari Do you mean that you want to move from the sscs pico chip ignite shuttle (guaranteed tapeout) to the mpw-8 shuttle lottery? mpw-7 deadline has already passed.

10/21/2022, 7:15 PMYeah, Our team wants to move from MPW-7 to MPW-8. Also, the submission deadline for MPW-8 has been closed on September 29, 2022.
Can we move to MPW-8?

10/24/2022, 4:46 PMHi David,
As a reminder, although the submission deadline for MPW-8 has been closed, could our team move to MPW-8?
We are currently registered for MPW-7, but part of our team is in Iran and due to the Internet cut-off, they cannot connect to our remote lab in Canada.
Thanks for your consideration.

10/25/2022, 1:38 AMYou’ll need to talk to @Boris Murmann about this. PICO and MPW are totally separate. Are you talking about chips 7 and 8 of the PICO contest?

10/25/2022, 3:33 AMYeah, we submitted for PICO Open Source Chipathon.
I talked to Dr. Murmann. He suggested us to submit to open MPW8 or MPW9, but the submission deadline for MPW8 was the 29th of September.
Could we move to MPW-8 and ask the Efabless team to accept our late submission due to our situation?
Thanks.

10/25/2022, 3:52 AMI don’t think the mpw-8 submissions have been opened (or announced) yet. So you should be able to submit once they announce it. It is a lottery, of course, so there’s no guarantee.
mpw-7 deadline was September 12th.

What's your mean by lottery?

10/27/2022, 1:59 AMThere are only 40 slots on the mpw shuttles. If more than 40 people submit designs, some designs will not be selected. They use weighted lottery (random selection) to determine which designs are choosen.
