The BOOM Processor

An open-source RISC-V out-of-order processor

[The BOOM Processor @boom_cpu]

BOOM hits a new milestone! Read about the new v3, SonicBOOM! Slightly higher IPC in SPECint17 and Coremark relative to the A72s in AWS Gravitonv1! Appearing virtually at the next CARRV workshop, this Friday May 29th. (https://t.co/iCeaninMnC). 💥

@kenshirriff Super cool! Same techniques are still used today, just on a smaller level, and with lasers. =) (e.g., https://t.co/mMYwmvvRrN)

VLC just added some patches to support the recently minted RISC-V Vector spec! Super cool! (via https://t.co/M6WgtTbHOg)

@itaru Sadly Berkeley doesn't sell their chips (new funding paradigm??). :(

Pretty neat to see this stuff listed on wikichip, although it is a little Spartan at the moment. 🤔 T0 and Rocket especially deserve more attention. https://t.co/1pdmSQ7sVt

Super exciting news: "Esperanto Technologies to Reveal Chip with 1000+ Cores at RISC-V Summit!" (spoiler alert: I (Chris) worked on ET-Maxion, which is BOOM-derived💥!) @EsperantoTech https://t.co/xw7Tn9lurK https://t.co/BNc3tkwqIp

Getting the traditional #HotChips2020 experience with a hot California summer and an ice cream bar for final break :)

I have been elected to represent individuals and the community on the @risc_v Board of Directors. Get in touch if you have any topics you want to get addressed! Looking forward to be your voice on the board and this exciting role 🥰

I reverse-engineered the register file in the Intel 8086 microprocessor. Each register cell is static, based on two inverters in a loop. Some registers are multi-ported, more complexity than I expected in a 42-year-old processor.

Of course, we don't just do the occasional code-drop; if you want bleeding edge changes, you can always see the latest commits at (https://t.co/u0sIpSYInt). Caveat Emptor, of course. =)

[The BOOM Processor @boom_cpu]

Many of you have been asking us for the source code to SonicBOOM! We can now officially point you to the BOOMv3 GitHub release (concurrent with Chipyard v1.3). Get the links and read the change log at: https://t.co/kiRRwoQ7IN

Incremental compile for HW simulations & synthesis!! But now how am I suppose to schedule my coffee breaks?
