Processor Specialization
Processor Specialization
Enabling agile development of domain-specific processors through unified interfaces and automated integration.
Our research enables agile development of domain-specific processors through:
Unified ISAX Interface
Cross-platform portability across RISC-V ecosystems. Our unified interface allows ISAX designs to be seamlessly deployed on different processor implementations.
Automated Integration
Seamless ISAX integration with Chipyard and PULP platforms. Our tools automate the process of integrating custom instructions into existing processor frameworks.
ISAX-Level Parallelism
Support for multiple concurrent ISAXs, boosting performance in a new dimension.
