**Who's using and developing FireSim?** FireSim users across academia and industry (at 20+ institutions) have published over 40 papers using FireSim in many areas, including computer architecture, systems, networking, security, scientific computing, circuits, design automation, and more (see the [Publications page](https://fires.im/publications/)). FireSim has also been used in the development of shipping commercial silicon. FireSim was originally developed in the [Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Department][eecs] at the [University of California, Berkeley][berkeley], but now has industrial and academic contributors from all over the world.
