eProcessor: European, Extendable, Energy-Efficient, Extreme-Scale, Extensible, Processor Ecosystem

Published: 04 August 2023 Publication History

Abstract

The eProcessor project aims at creating a RISC-V full stack ecosystem. The eProcessor architecture combines a high-performance out-of-order core with energy-efficient accelerators for vector processing and artificial intelligence with reduced-precision functional units. The design of this architecture follows a hardware/software co-design approach with relevant application use cases from the high-performance computing, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence domains. Two eProcessor prototypes will be developed based on two fabricated eProcessor ASICs integrated into a computer-on-module.
