Rapidly emerging workloads require rapidly developed chips. The Celerity 16-nm open-source SoC was implemented in nine months using an architectural trifecta to minimize development time: a general-purpose tier comprised of Linux-capable RISC-V cores, massively parallel tiled manycore array that can be scaled arbitrary sizes, and specialization uses high-level synthesis (HLS) create algorithmic neural-network accelerator. These tiers are tied together with efficient heterogeneous remote...

This article introduces BlackParrot, which aims to be the default open-source, Linux-capable, cache-coherent, 64-bit RISC-V multicore used by world. In executing this goal, our research advance world's knowledge about "software engineering of hardware." Although originally bootstrapped University Washington and Boston via DARPA funding, BlackParrot strives community driven infrastructure agnostic; a is Pareto optimal in terms power, performance, area, complexity. order ensure easy use,...

Network-On-Chip design has been an active area of academic research for two decades, but many proposed ideas have not adopted in real chips because they complex behavior or create significant risks chip implementation. For this reason, existing just employ fast, replicated vanilla dimension-ordered mesh NoCs. However, these networks do come close to utilizing the full available VLSI wiring capabilities, and propagate packets at speeds that are significantly below raw speed wires. The ideal...

Conventional wisdom states that Network-on-Chip router area grows quadratically with the channel width, and this perception has fundamentally shaped assumptions of thousands NoC papers have been written to date, many chip designs. However, assumption is not entirely true. Simple analysis empirical data from paper shows that, in modern standard cell technology, a router's logic actually only linearly; it solely wire routing quadratically.If we think as standalone block done hierarchical VLSI...
