ToyCGRA

Introduction

This repository's object is to build a framework make test, evaluate and implement CGRA easier.

Currently the simulator supports only 1 architecture as below. Each PE is able to finish ALU function and Load/Store Function.

Usage

Example: python3 simulator/sim.py --exedir test/dummy

usage: sim.py [-h] [--pe_row_size PE_ROW_SIZE] [--pe_col_size PE_COL_SIZE] [--scratchpad_mem_size SCRATCHPAD_MEM_SIZE]
              [--exedir EXEDIR] [--log_fname LOG_FNAME] [--log_level LOG_LEVEL]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --pe_row_size PE_ROW_SIZE
                        *PE row size.
  --pe_col_size PE_COL_SIZE
                        *PE column size.
  --scratchpad_mem_size SCRATCHPAD_MEM_SIZE
                        *scratchpad memory size.
  --exedir EXEDIR       the directory where PE instructions locate.
  --log_fname LOG_FNAME
                        where the log file is stored.
  --log_level LOG_LEVEL
                        logging level (int): CRITICAL = 50, ERROR = 40, WARNING = 30, INFO = 20, DEBUG = 10, NOTSET =
                        0
