Not All There: Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Design Tools
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The design, implementation, and programming of multicore heterogeneous systems is becoming more common, often driven by the software workloads, but the tooling to help optimize the processors, interconnect, and memory are disjointed. Over the past few years, many tools have emerged that help with the definition and implementation of a single processor, optimized for a given set of software. ... » read more

The Uncertainties Of RISC-V Compliance
By Ann Mutschler - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

How far can a RISC-V design be pushed and still be compliant? The answer isn't always black-and-white because the RISC-V concept is very different from previous open-source projects. But as interest and activity in RISC-V continues to grow, constructive discussions are taking place to address some of the challenges of designing with an open-standard ISA. “The RISC-V standard is somethin... » read more
