A new technical paper titled “Skybox: Open-Source Graphic Rendering on Programmable RISC-V GPUs” was published by researchers at Georgia Tech, California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo.
Abstract Excerpt:
“In this work, we present Skybox, a full-stack open-source GPU architecture with integrated software, compiler, hardware, and simulation environment, that enables end-to-end GPU research. Using Skybox, we explore the design space of software versus hardware graphics rendering and propose and hybrid micro-architecture that accelerates the state-of-the art Vulkan graphics API. Skybox also introduces novel compiler and system optimizations to support its unique RISC-V ISA baseline.”
