Across
- 4. Barnum had three under canvas; an accelerator SoC might have one shuttling flits between compute tiles.
- 6. Peg hammered deep into the fairgrounds or a sudden di/dt surge threatening the core power rail.

- 3. Precarious act high above the sawdust — familiar to anyone signing off a critical path at 0.1 picoseconds.
- 5. A daring leap into the void between moving bars — familiar to anyone synchronizing data across clock domains.
- 6. Dangerous sag on a tightrope yet pure joy on a timing signoff report.
