Tinsel 0.5
This release provides a new DE5-Net worker image and a new DE5-Net bridge image. The new worker image provides:
- 64 cores
- 16 threads per core
- (1024 threads in total)
- 16 mailboxes
- 16 caches
- 16 floating-point units
- 2D network-on-chip
- two DDR3 DRAM controllers
- four QDRII++ SRAM controllers
- four 10Gbps reliable links
- a JTAG UART
- hardware idle-detection (new)
The clock frequency is 250MHz and the resource utilisation is 61% of the DE5-Net.
The POLite frontend has been updated to use the new idle detection feature for termination detection and (optional) synchronous execution. More POLite benchmarks have been added and the PDevice
interface has been generalised to allow edge weights.
Performance counters for cache hit/miss and CPU utilisation have also been added.
