We are calling for contributors. If you are interested in Ventus GPGPU, please contact yangkx20@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn

“承影”在RVV编译器工具链、验证环境开发和硬件设计方面还有很多不足，如果您有意愿参与到“承影”的开发中，欢迎在github上pull request，也欢迎联系 yangkx20@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn

8月23日线下活动的ppt已经上传到这里。

Architecture

The micro-architecture overview of Ventus(承影) is shown below. Chinese docs is here. English version will come soon.

For ISA simulator and riscv-gnu-toolchain, see ventus-gpgpu-isa-simulator and ventus-riscv-gnu-toolchain

Quick Start

The tutorial of Chisel development environment configuration comes from chipsalliance/playground: chipyard in mill :P

  1. Install dependencies and setup environments:
  • Arch Linux pacman -Syu --noconfirm make parallel wget cmake ninja mill dtc verilator git llvm clang lld protobuf antlr4 numactl
  • Nix nix-shell
  1. Init and update dependences
make init
make patch
  1. IDE support make bsp # generate IDE bsp
  2. to generate verilog file, use make verilog. The output file is GPGPU_axi_top.v
  3. to run tests, use make tests. Output waveform file is at test_run_dir

Acknowledgement

We refer to some open-source design when developing Ventus GPGPU.

Sub module Source Detail
CTA scheduler MIAOW Our CTA scheduler module is based on MiaoW ultra-threads dispatcher.
L2Cache block-inclusivecache-sifive Our L2Cache design is inspired by Sifive's block-inclusivecache
Multiplier XiangShan We reused Array Multiplier in XiangShan. FPU design is also inspired by XiangShan.
