The GC64 Team from Texas Tech and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory partnered to submit an Emerging Technologies proposal for the 2016 Supercomputing conference. The submission, entitled OpenHPC System Architect: An Open Toolkit for Building High Performance SoC’s, features a demonstration of recent technology that was jointly developed at TTU and LBNL geared toward rapidly accelerating the development of RISC-V based SoC’s and compiler technology. OpenHPC/OpenSoC System Architect is a graphical frontend environment and backend logic that permits users to rapidly develop RISC-V SoC’s (with extensions) and automatically generate synthesizable verilog and an LLVM compiler backend.
