论文摘要
现代的高性能计算体系结构(Multicore,GPU,Manus-Core)基于处理元素的紧密耦合簇,实际上以矩形瓷砖为物理实现。它们的大小和纵横比强烈影响可实现的运行频率和能源效率,但是它们应该尽可能灵活,以实现高级模具地板平面图的高利用率。在本文中,我们探讨了具有共享L1存储器的高性能RISC-V内核群的灵活性范围,该内存用于构建可扩展的加速器,目的是建立层次结构的实现方法,可以将簇建模为软瓷砖以实现最佳的模具利用率。
Modern high-performance computing architectures (Multicore, GPU, Manycore) are based on tightly-coupled clusters of processing elements, physically implemented as rectangular tiles. Their size and aspect ratio strongly impact the achievable operating frequency and energy efficiency, but they should be as flexible as possible to achieve a high utilization for the top-level die floorplan. In this paper, we explore the flexibility range for a high-performance cluster of RISC-V cores with shared L1 memory used to build scalable accelerators, with the goal of establishing a hierarchical implementation methodology where clusters can be modeled as soft tiles to achieve optimal die utilization.
