Tomorrow at IEEE/ACM ICCAD, Albert Magyar will be presenting our work on Golden Gate: the new optimizing #firrtl compiler included in FireSim 1.7.0. With Golden Gate, we went from fitting 4 to 6 large The BOOM Processor cores on a single Amazon Web Services EC2 f1.2xlarge instance. Go check it out!

Jenny Huang giving her talk on Centrifuge! A really cool example of using HLS for full-stack HW/SW co-design. She takes HLS-generated Verilog all the way through FireSim!

And now Albert Magyar giving his talk on Golden Gate: FireSim's new compiler!

I wonder what fraction of unique ASIC designs taped-out last year could fit on this behemoth.

Join us at the Chisel Community Conference next week! We'll have a talk on Golden Gate by David Biancolin and a tutorial on FireSim and Chipyard by @realAlonAmid and Sagar Karandikar: events.linuxfoundation.org/chisel-communi…

Join our tutorial on FireSim (FireSim) and Chipyard at ASPLOS on March 16th! Attendees will work hands-on with the Chipyard RISC-V International SoC generator and deploy fast FPGA-based simulations using FireSim on Amazon Web Services EC2 F1 instances. Learn more: fires.im/asplos-2020-tu…

We've just shipped FireSim 1.9.0 with FirePerf support, just in time for virtual ASPLOS 2020! Check out the release notes and our revamped FPGA debugging and profiling docs! Release notes: github.com/firesim/firesi… Debugging/Profiling Docs: docs.fires.im/en/latest/Adva…

If FireSim were to support local boards, which would you be most interested in?

FireSim 1.10 (with Multiclock!) and Chipyard 1.3 have been released. Check them out! github.com/firesim/firesi… github.com/ucb-bar/chipya…

Don’t be afraid of Covid? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it!

Oooooooooooooof

FireSim 1.11 Release. Wherein Albert Magyar fits 16 LargeBOOM cores on a single Xilinx VU9P 🔥🔥🔥 (Without resource optimizations only two fit). Release notes here: github.com/firesim/firesi…

okay in case it was not clear, the point here is that cows are eating i can't believe it's not butter to make more butter, so the butter we're eating are also less butter and more i can't believe it's not butter

I admire Vivado's tenacity. It's a shame it errors out when a design can't be feasibly implemented. It should switch to a larger device and issue a CRITICAL WARNING with a digikey link. #AlwaysShipTheBits

FireSim 1.12 and Chipyard 1.5 Released! Check 'em out. github.com/firesim/firesi… github.com/ucb-bar/chipya…

Join our tutorial on FireSim and Chipyard at ISCA on June 18th! Attendees will work hands-on with the Chipyard @RISC_V SoC generator and deploy fast FPGA-based simulations using FireSim on Amazon Web Services EC2 F1 instances. Learn more: fires.im/isca-2022-tuto…

Local FPGA support (Xilinx U250) and distrib SW sims are coming to FireSim this week! Sagar Karandikar and Nayiri will cover these features at OSCAR 2022 at ISCA on Saturday. Thanks to great work by David Biancolin Abraham Gonzalez Tim Snyder! oscar-workshop.github.io/Program.html
