DDECS 2012
We have presented our paper The Architecture and the Technology Characterization of an FPGA-based Customizable Application-Specific Vector Processor at the 15th IEEE Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems in Tallinn, Estonia. The presented work is one of the results of the SMECY project.
Optimizing C Compiler for the PicoBlaze Processor
We are pleased to announce the first public release of our optimizing C compiler for the Xilinx PicoBlaze processor. The compiler toolchain can be downloaded for academic and non-commercial use. The toolchain is built around the LLVM compiler framework and the elfutils low-level binary tools. It consists primarily of the optimizing C compiler, gas-like assembler, and ELF-based linker. The software was developed in project SMECY.
HiPEAC 2012
We will present our recent results at the HiPEAC conference. At the SMECY tutorial we will present the features of the extended EdkDSP platform developed at UTIA. At the Apple-CORE workshop we will describe features of the UTLEON3 processor with micro-threaded extensions. The events will take place on Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning respectively.
DSD 2011
We have presented our paper Microthreading as a Novel Method for Close Coupling of Custom Hardware Accelerators to SVP Processors at the 14th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design 2011 in Oulu, Finland. The presented work is one of the results of the Apple-CORE project.
Best Paper Award in the Design Field Announced at DDECS 2011
Our paper "Instruction Set Extensions for Multi-Threading in LEON3", presented at DDECS 2010, was selected and received the best paper award in the design field at DDECS 2011. For more information see the DDECS symposium web.
