We are testing our systems methodology for building and evaluating HW accelerators in a classroom setting, focusing on end-to-end system behavior throughout. The project also provides an easy (open source!) starting point outside of teaching. gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de/os… (1/n)
We released the final HW acceleration course project milestone: gitlab.cs.uni-saarland.de/os…. Here, the students implement Verilog RTL for the accelerator and synthesize it in 130nm, determining feasible clock rate and chip area and putting these in context of full system performance.
In our group meeting today, Jakob gave us a brief overview and a live demo of his ongoing M.Sc. thesis work, Columbo: Low-Level End-to-End System-Traces through SimBricks Simulations!
