Title:

SMYLEref: A Reference Architecture for Manycore-Processor SoCs

Abstract:

As a micro-processor with tens of cores becomes a promising platform for embedded systems, realizing a high performance and low power many-core processor is a primary technical challenge. We are studying a many-core architecture called SMYLEref along with a concept of Virtual Accelerator on Many-core, in which many cores on a chip are utilized as a hardware platform for realizing multiple virtual accelerators. We are developing its prototype system with off-the-shelf FPGA evaluation boards. This talk describes the architecture of SMYLEref and the detail of the prototype system. In addition, several initial experimental results are also described.
