DescriptionGiven the recent difficulty in continuing the classic CMOS manufacturing density and power scaling curves, also known as Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling, respectively, we find that modern complex system architectures are increasingly relying upon accelerators in order to optimize the placement of specific computational workloads. In addition, large-scale computing infrastructures utilized in HPC, data intensive computing and cloud computing must rely almost exclusively upon commodity device architectures provided by third-party manufacturers. The end result being a final system architecture that lacks specificity for the target software workload.
The OpenHPC System Architect infrastructure combines several open source design tools and methodologies into a central infrastructure for designing, developing and verifying the necessary hard- ware and software modules required to implement an application-specific SoC. The end result is an infrastructure the permits rapid development and deployment of of application-specific accelerators and SoC's, including an fully functional software development tool chain.
